If Religion Is Something Supernatural Why Is It Taught ? by HerexG(m): 1:33pm On Nov 29, 2014
When a child is born into this world, almost immediately the child starts making sound, locating the mothers bosoms for food, at due time starts seeing, responding to internal and external stimulus etc all of these are done without the child being thought on how to do them all and now my question is if religion is something supernatural why is it taught ?

there is need for control without control everyone has access to the supernatural and power becomes irrelevant and profit cannot be made from knowledge. this is why religious people will defend it with their lives and the lives of others.

So the profitability in religion makes religious people teach and defend it even with their life, but if it is supernatural as they so claim, teaching it won't be necessary, all men should have been born with the religious knowledge

in short, what you are getting at is the CURIOSITY factor in man. we are termed THINKING animals because we ask questions unlike other animals. we do not like the uncertainty of the jungle of the unknown. so we try to fill in the gaps by making up probable stories given the knowledge (data+information) available. unfortunately knowledge will never be complete so we make up the convenience of a Supernatural being above, beyond and outside the realm of the impossible. this helps us with our knowlege gaps and creates a small market of wisdom bearers or knowledge masters MOGs if you prefer. that religious spark you are talking of is simply curiousity as a result of our large brains
