[Tim24579]

The real question you need to answer for yourself first is, do you believe a higher power exists? The follow-up question to that is, if such a being exists, is it worthy of your worship? The battle you reference has been going on as long as Humans have existed. We fight over all sorts of things, because that’s our nature. Without that survival / fight instinct, we’d be dead. It’s naturally in us – it’s how we survive. Today, it’s not so much about physical survival, but survival of our thought process and beliefs. The Muslims and Christians have been going at it for 2000 years, and before that the Muslims and Jews went at it for longer than that. Why should you think of religion in a positive light? In local terms – think about your neighborhood churches – the people and their motives are, for the most part, good. Mostly for their work to help those who are less fortunate in the community. In larger terms, I tend to agree with the sentiment that religious organizations are power hungry and oppressive and have been the cause of the majority of suffering throughout human history, as well as being the reason we are nowhere near as technically or socially advanced as we should be.
