One of the main things about religion is that it causes division. Why because of the way it has been interpreted down through the ages by those wanting to control/influence others.
No one is willing to accept the positive interpretations and cultural similarities within religions. Catholisism, I believe is one such culprit, but there are many others. No wonder people can no longer believe in a god force when there are so many attrocities, conflicts and disasters (either man- made or otherwise)
The more and more I look into theology/spirituality/world religions the more complex and facinating it gets but I found answers, infact more than I bargained for, maybe there is a Deity but maybe he's just giving us free reign to mess it up for ourselves?
