    Agreed. And in general, finding deeper meaning in things can be great, however organized religion exploits people’s natural tendency towards that in order to gain power and societal control.

      Yea. That’s definitely the point where it goes from being an interesting train of deep thought and turns in to something truly bad. No one should be given “preordained” power unless they can already simply will it. If they can, they don’t need sycophants going around doing things for them… yet the sycophants never seem to realize it is their own hands that get dirty.
