Thought process

I'm currently spending time, watching my brother and nick play mindless FPS's and wished for an escape, so here it is.

today, i went to church, and contemplated man's need for religion, and have come up with this. man needs relligion in order to feel humbled, to feel smaller than we feel that we are. Also, some of religion was created to allow us to express our selfish desires without a feeling of guilt. Such as, in the church's prayers of the faithful, they prayed for a save return home of our troops, especially those close to home. which sounds great, but philosophiccal James caught something, why not pray for world peace? if you believe in a god, and believe that they can do anything, why not pray for peace. but no, they pray for protection of those round them that put themslelves in dannger. is that fair of them?

Another reason religion was created was to allow higher ups to control those below them (Now, I'm not taking a stab at whether a praticular religion is right or not, just some stuff I contemplated). Think about it, if you weren't strong enough to take someone in kindergarten, ou would call on the help of your older siblings, simply because their bigger and stronger than you or your enemy. so why not use the same philosophy in government, claim that you've got a being that created the entire universe, and people are bound to respect you.

just random thoughts.... anywho...

Yeah, FPS's are retared, that's all.
