Does Religion create a Comprehensible Thought Spectrum?

Question

With the naked human eye, we can only see the Visible Light Spectrum. Instruments help us "see" infrared and ultra violet. We are "limited" to seeing only what we are currently capable of "seeing." That does not mean there is nothing else beyond those "visible" points.

Do we operate under a Comprehensible Thought Spectrum; A limited understanding of the Universe around us that is blocked from further discovery by religious dogma?

Do all religions limit our description of "god" by assigning gender and childlike behaviors like vanity, jealousy, anger, vengence etc.

If all religion's were created by men who possibly had ulterior motives involving ego, control of others and revenge, did thier version of "god" and "god's will" kill our ability to think for ourselves?.

How is this different from an inventor or scientist that decides not to tell the public about Infrared? (For our own good of course.)

Do we stop using true cognitive function the minute we "join" a religion

Answer 1

Good for you if you weren't born into a religion, or baptised into one, your parents left you with a freedom of choice.

The secrets of the Universe have not been disclosed because we frankly could not handle it. We cannot properly manage the one planet that was given to us by our Creator, Earth, why would he give us more. We have to come together as human beings first, never mind all the religions, how about world poverty and hunger, the terror we are now fighting, God help us all to understand the power of the oil, and why people are willing to kill and mame for it.

You can choose to be led and lose your cognitive function if you'd like but I'd rather decide from what I have learned and experienced rather then being told and stipulated what I must believe and so on. Just follow Jesus' way you'll be happier, more giving, more ready to forgive and understand that people are like sheep and right now some are being led to slaughter.
