081308 -              Housten Smith's  Worlds Religions
081309 -
081310 -
081311 -    ...he suggested I call Father Don Sharp at:
081312 -
081313 -                   415 666 0123
081314 -
081315 -
081316 - Called Father Sharp.
081317 -
081318 - He has two offices, and has been out of his other office where I left
081319 - the message last week on 940426. ref SDS 7 0001  That is why he has
081320 - not returned the call.
081321 -
081322 - I explained the interest in the meaning of religion, from research on
081323 - 940320, per ref SDS 2 0001, and briefly presented the idea in the
081324 - paper on this point, ref OF 3 line 132.
081325 -
081326 - Mentioned the research assistance of Karen at the USF library,
081327 - ref SDS 6 0001
081328 -
081329 - Father Sharp said he doen't know where the meaning of religion came
081330 - from, and feels my application might be more susceptible to research
081331 - in philosophy, than religion.
081332 -
081333 -     Did not to delve into my sense that this capability is derived
081334 -     from biology that automatically creates linkages based on physical
081335 -     needs shaped by cultural values.
081336 - ..
081337 - Father Sharp seemed familiar with the meaning of religion to
081338 - "bind back," but his sense of this is that it reflected the notion
081339 - that everyone is bound back to the creator, i.e. the originator, God.
081340 -
081341 -     That interpretation seems adequate to support the idea that it is
081342 -     a good idea, i.e., God-like, to bind things back to original
081343 -     sources, i.e., to align, link, tie back to where things started.
081344 -
081345 -        [On 940601 Father Sharp confirmed origination of the word
081346 -        "religion" came from relegare. ref SDS 8 0001
