    The practice, amongst the true believers, would survive underground. Those who only practice due to peer pressure may well give it up.
    It really is quite difficult to build an ugly wooden boat.

      Probably not; 'man' has apparently been 'worshiping' since time immemorial, before Christianity, before Islam. The evidence is in the cave paintings and artifacts. And so....

      even one generation in an even more isolated locale, and some sort of 'regeneration' would presumably occur.
      There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....

                Right up there with that global climate change scam!
                Stay calm, be brave....wait for the signs. Possibly precariously prevaricating.

                  Assuming the ban were successful, people would pursue other avenues with religious zeal: yoga, vegetarianism, politics.

                    The global climate scam is basically the earth's natural cycle according to god's plan. Do not confuse it with evolution or man's infulence.

                        “Do you believe in God, Winston?”
                        “No.”
                        “Then what is it, this principle that will defeat us?”
                        “I don’t know. The spirit of Man.”
                        “Do you consider yourself a man?”
                        “Yes.”
                        “If you are a man, Winston, you are the last man. Your kind is extinct; we are the inheritors. Do you understand that you are alone? You are outside history, you are nonexistent.”

                          To be honest, I don't get it. I understand meditation and see that it can serve as a form of prayer, but yoga just makes you flexible and such. It teaches you to swallow a tissue and send it out your nose. I've never really understood how a form of exercise fits into religion.
