What we are about to discuss today my beloved people, is GOD, what god is, where does he come from, and how important is for people.
So let's start with the "where".
Thousands of years ago, humans were the easy pray for the predators that lived back then. No way to defend themselves against those fearsome creatures, until after a specific race of humanoids started to conclude some meat in their diet. Slowly, their brains became larger and thus smarter. They formed communities and found a way to hunt down animals to survive. But still, they were weak against the real hunters. So the best way to hope for not be eaten or killed by a mighty predator, was to draw it on a cave wall, depicture it so they can gain his kindness and mercy.
That, was the first clue that shows us that humans were in need of a higher strength being there for them, protect them against the wilderness of nature.
Later on, when man became stronger and smarter, found ways even to beat those fearsome creatures, he still had this awe feel about the beasts he could kill and thus performed actions such as shamanism. Shamans, were great hunters of the age that managed to kill predators that endangered the safety of his community. More like heroes. Despite the victory of men against the predator, he didn't forget how strong and powerful the animal was, so to gain it's power as a trophy, they used to carry or wear parts of the animal, or even it's hole carcass.
This man, received great respect from the people of his community and had a higher power of opinion and affection from others. The first rituals were about to start, praying to the mighty beasts as gods and the shamans as a minor example of the god's power, something like a pope in nowadays.

In this point, we see that religion has clearly direct link to sociality, it is the simplest form of Hierarchy amongst people. It affects the maze and drive it wherever it takes it. I'm not a communist, but a great man, Carl Marx said "Religion is the best way to control the lower levels of a society, giving them hope for something greater", or something similar to that.

Anyways, the human race developed many religions as it was evolving and the numerous religions, shows us that god is actually something WE created. If there was only ONE and only god, then every single person would believe in him.
Now is the time to explain you my theory about religion.
Today, the human race has reached about 4-5% of it's fully functional brain power, geneticists say that. We are still do discover lots of lots of things that we are able to do. So i believe that, PRAY is a way to "level up" our selves.
I've read some interviews that was taken from people like mediums, people that have extraordinary powers like Telepathy or Telekinesis, powers that most of us just call them pranks all makes us laugh our asses out. They said that they have these powers through pray, meditation and strong will.
So here i come, and say that pray, is an action that when it is done with very focused thinking and deep concentration, it takes the human brain in uncharted territories, unexplainable and immensely powerful. Gives us the strength to do things, become something more evolved.
I know you think that i am full of crap, but there is no way to understand this. That's because what i'm talking about is god. God is hidden in the depth of our minds, waiting to be discovered, to be felt with awe and fear and respect. Praying, is a way to communicate with god, which is actually yourself but in a level you would never understand, strange and vague. That's why we name it "divine", because these are powers that we will never understand, they are literally Un-imaginable.
Haven't you ever heard that the power of will can even move mountains?
Well, i believe that is true. No matter what the god is, you name it, it's just a name. The real thing is to reach the power of this god. All these religions people have, they are just ID's, something like a badge to put it more simple. A god is a god, no matter what his name is or how he looks like. The power of the god is the essence that lies inside...
Believe and thy shall see...
