After years of studying the many religions of the world, I have come to understand one fundamental truth; God did not create any religion(s). All religions were developed as a result of man's interpretation of God's creation. Whatever God create is always universal. Which is to say that all of mankind will be subjected to it, hence the need for food, knowledge, defence, the persut of happiness, etc. As oppose to rituals and ceremonies, or the the so called secred langueges that only serves to glorify a paticular culture. There is nothing wrong with stimulating the intellect by engaging in the pursuit of knowledge. However, when we begin to believe that our knowledge is enough explain the intentions of a Creator with supreme intelligence, then we are no smarter than the ant who presume to know the intentions of the man who is detroying its home. If it is religion that man must have so desperately, then we need not look any further than Nature. There lies the ultimate teacher. We only need to be attentive and responsive: Contemplate Space, Time, Energy, and Purpose.
