As human invention goes, religion is particularly unimaginative. Constrained by egocentrism, I find it pitifully two dimensional, despite its creators having the advantage of existing in a multidimensional, ancient, stunningly beautiful universe that they claim their god created.
The size of our universe should imbue humility and a deeper understanding, as we struggle against immense forces - adrift in severe vacuum - a mere mote amidst an immensity we cannot imagine. That alone should result in worldview, tolerance, and a reverence for all of life - after all we all struggle, all of life on earth, together.
Instead it is ignored, blocked out really, choosing instead to drape ourselves in narrow minded religiosity for false security, and for justification to act on our worst impulses. This two-dimensional human construct - religion - that so effectively narrows worldview, and blocks perspective of our true condition, can only result in intolerance, division, hate, and conflict, and ultimately our demise.
