To many religions, but only one god, i don't need another savior.
All my life I've been over the top I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop!

My idea of transcendance is pretty simple really. If you havn't seen the movie Powder, go watch it. It was a damn good movie imo.

Alot, yes the world would be even more fucked up without the staples of religion being drilled into the minds of the young.
Have you ever seen how people react when you take them out of there element? We are fucking animals and would if we could kill anyone who oppose us in any way.
Now im not talking about everyone but as far as the majority goes this is the case. Its a dog eat dog world out there and what religion does is try and successfully brings large groups of people together and makes them feel like a family.
Now you might say "well the muslims and the christians fight and the muslims are causing problems all over the world right now". Can you imagine what the world would be like without means of control? Without childhood conditioning? I will tell you it would be far worse than it is right now. Neighbors killing neighbors, no respect because its you and your family versus the world.
All I'm saying is if someone believes let them because not only may it make them happy but it tends to keep things in somewhat of a balance as well.
Catholics: the Crusades and the Knight's Templars, Muslims: the jihad and to them everyone else is an "infidel". Islamics, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Christians, they all have war in their histories. And then you have places like Rwanda, where it's not about religion but instead it's about ethnicity.

Proof that not all wars have a religious base.

Catholicism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, church, any other religion, or alien beings will not save you. Only the Name of Jesus Christ.
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
