Initially written in a comment to +Eric Bright and asked for a separate post.

We seem to have a common interest, where I'm taking the philosophy of mind approach to show that religion has always been about psychology and education. As with any other topic, this one in particular it's not easy to find dialogue where others genuinely follow and engage in intelligent conversation. As for religion, polytheist religion according to me is mostly about naming cognitive functions, describe what they are like and how they relate to others; mystifying these things I think is a consequence of the written language where non-verbal conveyance is not involved.

And it is a cogent premisee for discourse if followed.
It served a function, and one may be free to argue for example that entertainment is a more leading principle as that is much more common in informal conversation. But I wager that the best entertainment in poetry and art does play with intuition and emotion at that level and is a grounding feature of whether an idea or story spread easily or not irrespective of current relevance.

By adding the above, I somehow verged more into metaphysics, ontology and epistemology. Hope the category can be changed to reflect eventual interest.
But hoping to keep the category and perhaps even elaborations on Qualia in creative form can show up. Realistically however this is likely to lead onto basic principles behind Memes, intuition pumps and the like.
Epistemology, for what are we talking about -- and please do!
