   If I could cull the question out from these sentences I’d be more than happy to address it. I can’t make heads or tails of what you’re saying or asking! Please try again!

   English is not your first language.

   Remember, how religion is tied into the social order is different in the West than in the Middle East.

   Islam is different for differrent people.

   People in the middle east, Islam is integrated into many things in a person’s life.

   In the west, it is not as integrated.

   Religion is like rules that men use to attempt to understand God.

   Because there are many kinds and types of people, there will be many interpretations, or different meaning between people.

   Some people, their religion is stronger, such as it is in a lot of thing in their life. Other people, they do not let religion into all parts of their life but only certain parts of it.

   Some people do not see religion as being ‘in submission’ in all things. Some people see it differently… Also ‘submission’ can be interpreted differently by different people with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

   Religion always divides. It is a way of identifying one’s self with a perceived superior group that will receive special rewards while getting to watch the inferior suffer simply because of their inferiority.

   I do not believe that religion is MEANT to divide, but we humans mess up everything. My religion seeks to unify. and create Union with God for all.

   Your statement is practically incomprehensible.

   Are you asking why religion is divisive instead of inclusive?

   Most religion at its core is based on the golden rule, otherwise known as the ethic of reciprocity:

   Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
   It is an ethic of moral equality. Most religions have
   something similar to the ten commandments.

   On that level, most true humanitarians see and meet each other on that commonality. That said, Karl Marx has this famous quote “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” For centuries in history, poor people without rights were made passive and controlled by their religion. (Particularly study oriental religions for evidence of this, but early Christianity was just as guilty.)

   Mature religions move beyond the control aspects and toward ethics for the sake of ethics. It echoes Kohlberg’s stages of ethical development. Early ethical development forces behavior with punishment; but it moves through several stages to ethical principals of doing right for its own sake.

   Unfortunately, immature religions dealing with a mostly uneducated populace rely on force–the “might makes right” way of thinking. We can only hope the day will come when the world is able to move beyond the petty details and all make right choices simply because they are right.

   You do not have one single sentence written here that makes any sense. Your communication is completely unintelligible.
   You either need remedial writing skills or go back to school and learn english a whole lot better.

    O H, what a great explanation of the various faiths. If everyone read this and understood it, there would be no division about religion, for we are all reaching for God, or at least some understanding of life.
