Reply to "Relgion and Ego"

My opinion is that from the beginning of time humans have sought to connect with something much more superior than themselves and the greater that thing the more real it is regarded. I don't see anything wrong with that even if it only achieve the effects of good habits and behavior. But then comes the challenge. Since we don't all think alike, our idea of that superior being will also differ. Now comes the turf war where everything gets sacrificed including the very essential motive for seeking a superior being in the first time.

Another element is the potential profits of separating oneself from the pack. We see this by the many denominations in Christian churches as well as different mosques or mandirs. Folks don't come together at Eid times or Phagwah melas because they fear they would have to split the purse.
