It started back when religions were organizing and the number of followers determined the amount of "tithing" (spiritual taxes) they could collect. Thus they had to make the others seem worse so they could recruit more followers to pay them more. This is why I am against organized religious groups.

Human nature. If you're enthusiastic about your own discoveries you want to share that with others. If everyone else does too then you have competition.

It's human nature to be flawed by grasping, jealousy, pride, ignorance, and aversion.

And it's human nature to project onto others what we disown in ourselves. The demons and gods are within us. We have to work with our own minds, and transform them rather than looking outside ourselves at what others are doing or not doing. JMO.

I bet Pastor Bob at the Baptist church down the road from you would disagree.

If you are drowning no one "needs" to save you but it sure is nice if they do. And you don't have to hold onto the life saver if you don't want to. Denial of the situation probably won't make the situation go away however.

So truth is relative?

Everyone wants to believe their "mysticism" is the true "mysticism". If one is true, the others are automatically false.

The truth is the "occult" is nonsense. All of it. It's all nonsense.

No. I didn't say that. Can you relate your question to the OP?

Is that true for everyone?

Well it would have to be.

Because truth isn't relative. If it were everyone would live in peace.

So why do Christians kill each other over who is Protestant and Catholic in Northern Ireland? Both believe in Christ, right? I've never got that one either.

And the Jews and the Muslims, why do they hate each other?
