Uh, well I guess I'm with you assuming by supernatural you mean beyond what we would experience on earth.

I don't necessarily concede that god governs the universe. I sometimes wonder if its governs, set processes in motion, or is observing as mutations are allowed to fully playout.

That's why I put the "and/or" there. I was leaving room for the Deists and whatnot.

So it is a religion then?

Yeah I mean I don't know what your daily intake has to do with it but vegans, i guess, are a religion too.

depends on which followers you talk to

majority are those into burning incense and paper, praying to idols, and speaking to "mediums"

truer subscribers who only see it as a philosophy only, like myself, will do otherwise
