A missionary came across a native american who was in worship paying homage
to the animals, stars, wind, trees, plants, and the waters. After observing
the ritual the missionary condescendingly asked the indian, "Why are you
worshipping nature...why don't you worship God?
With a puzzled look on his face, the native american looked up at the
missionary and gently said to him, "God IS nature."

"The shift from a nature religion to a sociological religion makes it
difficult for us to link back to nature." - Joseph Campbell
