I mean, I thought people were supposed to build upon tolerance, love and compromise. Why is there so much segregation, boundaries, and aggression over religions that are supposed to teach love and understanding? Is it caused by the notion that 'im right, you're wrong, believe in what i believe or suffer eternally?'...how is that loving or peaceful? That's a threat and command, not a choice of tolerant free-will.

Hey buddy, you have already asked this question, just in a different wording. Think up a new one that you think will get people to "lose their religion".....but I'll tell you now, you will fail

much less perplexing for me than maximum as i don't have a holy text cloth. Christopher Penczak's the indoors Temple of Witchcraft. he's a organic skeptic so he isn't certainly one of those Witch authors who only says "Yeah it incredibly works, have faith me!" he's greater like "i comprehend it sounds ridiculous, yet attempt it for your self and take notes on what you word." He cuts in the path of the "right this is a spell to do this!" which regularly incorporates not something yet a poem and a meaningless action. He teaches the thank you to direct and build capability, incorporates some chapters on quantum physics to describe the belief of why magick works, and makes a speciality of the religious area of the Craft somewhat than the make stuff take place crap that many authors write approximately.

It is a by-product of survival instincts.
As cave people, when mom or dad told you not to wander into the lions den you either listened, or you got eaten. Those that survived learned an important lesson - ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR ELDERS. Problem is, elders provide some good info (avoid lion dens), as well as some bad info (you must sacrifice a goat to apease the Sun God)...
As a result, our brains have come to perform one thing amazingly well - and that is to beleive WHATEVER someone in power tells us, regardless of how ridiculous it might seem on the surface. As a result, we have religion gaining strength in the minds of modern men, as this is one of the last hurdles of primitiveness we need to shrug off.

I have accepted many non-Buddhist teachings as true, but some of them have no basis in reality, and to practice them would be detrimental to my spiritual well-being...
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it"

Because some people run with the verse and concept of "If you are not FOR me you are AGAINST me." (It did wonders for President Bush in another context)
You know you have the right god when he hates all the same people you do.

Of course it's not of God to be intolerant.
