snicka-there is a difference though...roman/greek theology stopped working to help explain life as we know it...people ceased to find them efficient. so it makes sense that they have fallen aside. however, many traditions have continued to evolve and expand to be able to address relevant issues today, and show no sign of such a death. it's not that religious ideas simply have a shelf life, its all a matter of "do they work?" if they stay static...they don't for long. but if there is a balance between change and tradition, i don't think thats as safe a bet.
