Meaning is a more necessary craving than food or sex. The Judeo-Christian beliefs are not 'religious' per se; they are true to what is there and to human nature. So when you dump them, as the university has, you have people straining for 'necessary' beliefs, such as:

*yoga is prohibited in Ottawa universities because it is an 'appropriation of cultural imperialism.' Fasten your seat belt for a moment. They mean that to make a foreign practice or custom as popular in Canada as hockey is culturally innapropriate.

*in CA university system, you cannot use the expression 'the world is one race' because it will offend the minor races. It is OK to offend the major race, however, there is no longer a major race!

*the U of Minnesota will not permit the observance of the Sep. 11 attack so as not to offend Muslims. See the ex. above.

*Even though a mind like Dawkins says that the universe appears to be designed, you are not permitted to say so. The paradox of this is that Lyell said we must limit our conclusions to 'processes that can be seen.' So look! See!

*A Clemson fraternity had to cancel a Mexican theme dinner because it would offend a minority.
