After I put all the information about the Mastodon and the War Elephants up I had a visitation by Ganesha the Elephant headed God out of India and Hinduism. He spoke about how he didn't like being reminded about all the fighting elephants in battles in the past. I mentioned to him that people thinking about mastodons and elephants in general was good because people would be thinking about the remaining elephants and taking better care of them here on earth because of thinking about them. He agreed with this.
If you are like me you learn that all religions have their value. People create religions to make their lives better. I also find that when I go to other countries different realities exist.
So, when in Rome do as the Romans do. Religions often exist in the "Air" around these countries as the belief systems permeate and interface with the realities there. So, as you travel in order often to survive your travels you have to somewhat go native to be accepted by the nature spirits and religious influences wherever you travel.
It's not that you give up your native or natural religions of your home area, it's that you enrich yourself by learning how to navigate and to survive in a new environment. Otherwise, often you don't.
