Imperfections on the surface of a perfect world, or the pinnacle of God's creations, marred by the vagaries and inconsistencies of a warped world? It becomes an ego trip, I notice most religions; and if you add guilt and suffering to the mix; an already volatile set of beliefs becomes absolutely bloody with hostility and aggresiveness. It's basically; the God I believe in is truer than the one you believe in, because the power of my belief is stronger and the faith suffused within me has the ability to drown out all other truths... Very fundemental nature of man, I think. So when people see the destruction and power of something like, say, Hurricane Katrina; their very core is shaken and all the guilt and blame surfaces; and though they would do better(IMHO) to look to God for the answers; they seem content to look for people to execute. Fundemental nature. Can't run from it... Where's the ubermensch when you need him?
