I don¹t think its primitive people who seek supernatural power, the more
there is poverty and oppression the less there is education and the more
people a venerable to believe that somehow a supernatural power is the
answer, the more the extremists prevail and the more that ideologies are
brainwashed into the mind of these people, so it all goes back to economics,
north and south..., God has nothing to do with this, after all we all have
the same one "that is if you believe", as for me seeing all the evil and
injustice committed under the name of this power makes me Faithless....

I didn't mean to disparage anyone in particular. I thought this was a 
well known fact. I still remember my first of college, and the 
anthropology professor hinted he didn't believe in God, and when some 
students tried to press him on it, he didn't want to say anything that 
would get him in trouble, so he finally said something like "All 
societies have a God or Gods to which they attribute unseen forces, and 
random acts." When lightening strikes, or a storm or eclipse occurs, 
these things were not understood. So that statement about the locusts 
brought by the crusaders as being the cause of all the problems in the 
middle east was just a bit hard to swallow....at least for me, but I 
could be high as a kite as far as anyone knows. However, this was not any 
personal attack/disparagement/etc on anyone. I better get off the 
computer now - the wind is blowing - a sure sign that God must be angry.

Yes. That this is nothing whatever to do with 'primitive' is what I tried 
to say. People believe all kinds of things. From the belief that flying 
saucers will appear to save us all ... to the belief on the part of some 
more fundamentalist US Christians that one day very soon an act of God will 
strike down the federal government and that all they have to do to bring 
this about is pray hard enough.
