Would you agree that it is this very desire, the desire to develop values and personal beliefs, that not only leads us to find leadership within a higher power, but to realize ourselves, as a group, thus forming culture?
I don't think its a cultural image involved in here. I believe that this desire is just another form of.....hmm...a form of ego. Egotistically, in the sense that one group believes in one divinty while another has yet another divinity. this intolerance of individual groups believe that their god is the one and only while others are false...a kind of ego is formed here.

Sure I do, I never said anything otherwise. My comment was directed solely at Craige, who seemed like he was jumping on the "OMG Subjectivity" bandwagon, which while it makes your own beliefs impossible to be disproven, also forces you to admit the inability to prove anything, and thus inability to plead a very useful case for -why- you believe anything.
