    Just a pondering thought since most religions and notions of spirituality were developed thousands of years ago, and human ignorance was quite prevalent at those supposed times, its

    surprising and puzzling to me to see people still in delft with these ancient religions and beliefs as a source of moral guidance and direction and I'm not just speaking of Christianity. Is this

    due to a lack of education in society or possibly the empowering effect that God belief has to offer men when desired. The power of God is a good thing I suppose if you can corral it for

    your self and make good use of it money wise and others......

    Gods are created, but not so mysticism. Gods are for the ignorant (unlearnt, unexperienced), mysticism is or can be an educational process. In other words, deities are the only way that nonspiritual people can apprehend some spiritual principles. Hinduism is an example of this: at it's core, all is considered to be one, brahman. At the lower levels, there are many gods. http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Mysticism-Mystical-Mystics.htm
