First there was equal weight attached: Moon, Sun, Wind, Earth, Water, all the things that man could see around him.
Next, as man began to understand dominance, and a hierarchical order to society, so did he impose that structure on his "gods".
The sun became the dominant god, considered the "father", and the moon became the "spouse" of the sun, essentially the second most powerful god.
As time progressed, so did man's intellect. Expression and abstract thought became more important to man as man became aware of himself. (Please understand the male pronoun being used as in classical literature, denoting both male and female.)
So mankind's gods evolved too. They become Zeus (sun), and other gods evolve from all of man's emerging emotions.
The next step in the evolution of religion (if you skip Rome before Christianity, which was essentially Greek gods transfigured into Roman gods), was Judaism. This recognized a connection of all that was "primal", and combined it into one omnipotent God.
But even then, there were archangels...beings with godly powers, but subordinate to "God", and derived from God.
Then there came Christianity. Jesus Christ walked the earth, and he was the very first to see the truth...that all of creation is connected. That each and every one of us is a part of God.
Think about that for a moment...it means that it is ludicrous for any human to act in violence against another human, because ultimately, we are all contributing to God. Only thing is, one man's god is another man's devil.
Think about it...as religion evolved, each preceding religion became "paganism" or "devil worship". Don't you see that this is just man's attempt to impose order on his peers?
As time moves on, the religions become ever more fine tuned to keep man in order.
Religion is evil.
Religion seeks to control.
Spirituality - that is what man must strive for.
Once man is in touch with his spirit, all war will cease. People will realize that they are more alike than different. Every year, more and more people are seeing it. That it is ludicrous to fight.
And the one thing the people who want to exploit this are afraid to face: We WILL resist.

Bah. Pesky staffies, spoiling my petulant fit...

It was bugging me anyway, pedant that I am.

Hush. Or I'll point out your mis-spelling of "Philosophy".
I made people argue.
Idiots.

A poor interpretation? Yet you're utterly unable to clarify it? Yeah, I guess arguing with me is a waste of your time; after all, you only end up folding immediately and muttering about arrogance and vitriol. Poor IB; you've never been the same since you dissed your girlfriend on the board.

And you feel the need to point this out because...? I mean, you can't be stressing your lack of apology just for the sake of it; you don't get a rise out of that anymore, do you?

Your misdirected vitriol never fails to raise a smile. But I no longer come here to press my dim view of the world on a captive audience of repressed teenagers. So arguing with you, despite your poor interpretation of my views, is less than a productive use of my time.

T'would be a disaster though. No diet coke? No pringles? What about the rest of our artery clogging food?
T'would solve all our obesity problems...
