And as far as universal truth goes, well to get right down to it, that's basically what every religion is trying to get to. They're trying to get OUT of our humanistic observations and experience what is total and beyond just this little world.

That may have been the original purpose of religion, but I'm afraid that many religions have become more about self-perpetuation, money, and power. The more members a particular religion has, the more
voters it has, and hence more control over society. And we all know money=power in our society. While the members of a particular faith may have the best interest of society and their neighbours at heart, the party running the organization is concerned with recruiting new members.
Anyway, religion is NOT a subject we should prbably be getting into on a public forum.
