I have wide range of opinions collected over the last 60 days. I have found out that people are uncomfortable to see beyond their cultural habits. We can start off with Middle East Conflicts to bring this idea to bloom, in your heads. I will need to use words, possibly inflaming people because of their identification network.
It is a matter of social beings identification system. Islam is a religion. Buddhist are members of a religious sect. Christians are members of a different religious sect. Muslims are another like Buddhists and Christians. There are many more we don't need to write them all. Social habits dictate a Culture. Socializing is what social beings do.
People living in a subtropic mountainous forested terrain, will have habits different than a people living within the Arctic Circle, or a people living in a desert, or another group living in the tropics. Their survival activities would be different day to day. Humans are on a higher level than most mammals. Human beings aren't 100% reactionary on animal instinct. People have minds that affect their decision making because ideas are being generated from previous ideas in continuum.
Please notice how we strolled from religion to climates. Take look at this Social Identification between countries, within a country, and from family to family. Human Identifications can stratify even further through our mental works. Our social identification relies heavily on our minds. Our minds gain their programing from birth through adulthood until death. People's social interactions are a ritual training. The information we obtain changes idea generation based upon many things. We can call these effects accumulated coincidence recall reward penalty functioning. It is a matter of synaptic recall plus endorphin support.
Now, can you put this information to work in your minds dealing with others? Probably not, when based on our animal birth. We, like all animals, need ritualistic training. Our thought priority will be what is more pleasurable to us. Smart beings would see how important religions are ranked in the minds of others. It doesn't matter what your religion is or the religion of any person you interact with the highest precedence is his own.
Religions are the ritualistic training humans get through identification. To do or say anything against a belief system is normally futile. It has been sustained from birth within its social support mechanism. People seek learning through identification, by being social beings. The feeling of pride is exhibited when a person is said to be at the top of his preferred identification. Ideologic peaks are no different than professional athletes in the releases of good feelings. Pride is an emotion, of social nature, for the individual at the top of his game.
What is your identity?
