What makes you think you're special in this regard?

This is a great question.  We should have a good faith discussion on this topic.  I do not think I am special.  It is not about that.  That is the misinterpretation.  I have no desire to be special in relation to what I am creating.

Start a thread. Lay out your thoughts.

I don't like to start threads.  I try to find threads that are already created.  Just my style.

@Joseph Maynor I'll start it. Just tell me what you want to discuss exactly.

Let's talk about what is it to be the creator.

Sorry brother but your attitude is quite annoying. Something feels tense and strange

It's hope or wishful beliefs

@Majed The desire for religion is a desire to connect with the sublime, however like many cults, this is precisely the dressing that some religious organisations use to take advantage of the chance for say, corresponding altruistic donations.

I am sure someone will be able to find examples on the internet where some people actually fell for "Level of donation = Level of transcendence", or at the very least, is proportional to the kind and quality of mystic secrets they'll be allowed access to by the head honcho, or as advised by the loyal secretary captivated by his status and number of followers say.

It’s really simple . Religion is a form of spirituality, but outdated because most religions are thousands of years old . And today they are brainwashed into people’s minds since childhood and they just accept them because they don’t know better .
