   We are all primative people.   
   We are all raised in an individual culture,family,region or nation and   
   raised in certain traditional ways. Our family, friends,   
   teachers and clergymen live and speak the same culture. And to us primative,   
   becomes known as the truth. Think about it and digest it for a while.   
   If you were raised among Christians and taught about the Holy Bible, or if   
   you were a Jew you were raised among Jews and taught about the Torah. If you   
   were   
   a Muslim you were raised among Muslims and taught about the quaran. These   
   beliefs are carried out by numerous religions and each of those   
   numerous religions adherents believe in swear by and "know" without doubt   
   that their beliefs are the "real" messages from God or Gods.

   You would defend, protect and sometimes die for or kill for those beliefs.   
   Is that not a sign that we are all relatively ignorant like any other   
   primative believer? And aren't we all trapped, in a way, in out own   
   ignorance by the fate of geography? Can you doubt that if you were raised   
   among Muslims in a Muslim family living and raised by the teachings of   
   the Quaran can you doubt that you would be a "true believer" and "know" the   
   "truth of Allah"? And you might, if you are a devotee of your religion,   
   participate in the suicide bombing of "non believers" all for the "sake of   
   Allah"? Ad what Jew doesn't know that their religion is the oldest and   
   thiers is the one true "best God" in the world? Or what Christian would   
   doubt the miracles of Jesus Christ "the son of God"?   
   At what time do us primatives wake up and advance civilization by realizing   
   we are trapped, often by geography, in our own beief system?   
   Is it not time, before we all kill each other, to realize that we are all   
   victims of a primative monstous, catastrophic path that is leading   
   to the destruction of civilization? How many years before rocket directed   
   nuclear missiles will be flying to places across the globe all for the sake   
   of "God" or "Allah" or"Jesus"?
