I disagree. Spirituality was invented as a form of control.
For the same reasons you mentioned, humans want to believe we are superior to animals, even if we share common instincts. We want to believe we are gods chosen species.
My belief is best said by agent Smith.
In other words, we were not created as a mirror image of gods perfection, but another organism in his grand plan. Our greatest weapon, and curse is our intelligence.
But people cannot accept, that we are as we are, Just another brutal animal, fighting for survival, they need an explanation. When others disagree, they want to fight over it, how silly.
Right Crusaders, and Jihadists?
An invisible spook in the sky, would make people forsake thier own species because they refuse to believe as they do.
Then again male Alpacas like to try to kick each other in the nuts, same as we like to exterminate those who are not part of our clan, or religion, or gang...
Have fun with your indoctrination.
My god is no where near as cruel as yours.
Not all aimed at you Dark Wraith, I springboarded off your comment, then adressed the OP. Just wanted to clarify.
