Religion is Science we don't understand... yet

If you look back at human history that is what you see... what started off as atavistic fears coalesced around blind faith and shamanistic rituals to form what we know to be primitive religions.

As we started to understand, comprehend and then conquer the world around us, we rearranged the construct to include an all-powerful, all knowing supreme deity who told us what to do and not to do, right down to every last detail.

They say that if you take a battery powered torch a 1000 years back, they would worship you as a God or lynch you as an agent of the devil... so maybe there's something to this... isn't it possible that a 1000 years down the road people will laugh at us for believing in ghosts and the concept of a soul and even God as we understand today?

I'm not an atheist... I just believe that our current (and past) concepts of God are nothing more than a projection of our own hopes and fears... someone who has the power to offer humankind a mulligan every now and then, clean up our mess and of course forgive us and invite us to heaven!

We are too immature, too conceited and too self-obsessed to comprehend the very word God, let alone the mind-bending concepts behind it. I for one believe in a God as a creator, an all-encompassing power behind the known and unknown universe who is within, without and all around us, making us a part of the infinite continuum. But certainly not God the punisher and rewarder and prayer seeker, who has all the powers that human beings secretly desire as well as all the shortcomings that we display. That would be an insult to the very concept we claim to worship, revere, live and die for.
