I logically assume that all humanity was created by one god. Whites, Blacks, Asians, Indians, and the First Nations; why then would that god foster division between the races, cultures, and countries as is evident in the world today. History reveals that division and conflict between men began way before religion. As time went by we developed many god concepts to inspire us until the Hebrews discovered the power of a single universal unseen force that no one could physically destroy.
I have read the Bible and while I admire its many uplifting, heroic, and morally based stories I found many faults as well. It is hard to believe that a god would want to be carried around the countryside in a box while commanding his followers to wipe out their enemy; men, woman, children, and animals alike. Did they discover a power so extraordinary that they could only explain it as "the true God"? Fortunately the story got more civilized by the time Jesus emerged but though he tried to spread love the bloodshed and strife continued up until present day. We exist in constant conflict between races, countries, neighbors and even families over religion. The main reason being that we covet God’s favor over the next man.
We realize that God needs us to submit and live acording to his laws but for doing so we secretly covet a reward. This is called "making conditions". We should never say "if you help me God I will do this or that". We are not God's equal neither does he need anything for security. No one knows what Gods intentions are so by making conditions we fall into a false sense of comfort in thinking that God is our friend and in his favor. When we see others in hardship or disaster, such as hurricane Katrina or the Tsunami in Indonesia we believe it is God’s will. Disaster struck them because they were disobedient in some way.
We have strayed away from the true God to something lesser. If the god that most people in the world worship today is the same god that created humanity then he is flawed. A perfect being cannot attempt to create something in his own likeness and it comes out flawed. The world is filled with too much evil and pain to be created for perfection. We need a deeper understanding of the True God and why he created this existence.
I think that many people believe in god because they are conditioned to do so but do not KNOW god! They fail to connect spiritualy!
