Secondly, this: [quote]Ancient Japanese people believed that gods lived in all things, whether animate or inanimate. Talking to a wall was not an idle act, but actually a kind of soul-searching.[/quote] ...is called Shinto, and it is still practiced by ancient Japanese people today. ;) Extremely crappy journalism, but very interesting technology.
