Religion teaches that man is supposed to live in the eyes of god. When you think how the world was when our culture was young, we were not as numerous, and engaged in conflict and ritualistic notions. The technology was also primitive, save some things like weaponry and architecture. Then as time progressed we became more respectful to each other, and abandoned most of the barbaric notions and condemn them where we see them surviving. This somewhat idealistic perspective would however be in alignment with the culture of man living in the eyes of god. If you consider god intended us to be numerous and more peaceful before we inherited better technology from consciousness, whether you believe it's evolution or higher consciousness communicating with humans, the conclusion is the same as religion that teaches us to multiply and be at peace before we inherit the gifts of creation. The interesting fact is that the percentage of the world engaged in conflict and hardship is a direct reflection of the system that was born in the time when we had not even moved from technological and spiritual ignorance into an accurate world for the layman and unlimited possibilities for the gifted. How can we guide a world and society completely different in almost every way,with the systems of spiritual ignorance that remain? Despite the folly of the resource drainage and the moral ambiguity of turn of the century science, which was merely the echo of the most imperialistic period of the history of empires. The disintegration of the middle east and the instability in Europe is a reflection of a world plunged straight back into the dark ages, with today's technology. It's a living nightmare created by the ignorance in letting the monster grow in the living room where everyone pretends inequality doesn't exist.
