Real religion is different. This is "cheating" religion. There are different grades of humans. Civilized and uncivilized. Civilized human culture has some sort of religion. The Alcoholics Anonymous group has this basic understanding. The addiction to alcohol once formed is very very difficult to break. There are psycholigical dependencies as well bodily transformations caused by the chemical. The AA group has found to break the addiction there must be acknowledgement of a "high power" than oneself. So the addicted are like the uncivilized and those free from the influence of alcohol can be compared to the civilized. Under the influence of the substance the addict has little or no control of themselves, their behavior, their mind, etc. Freed from the dependency they can reason and rationalize and make appropriate choices of behavior. Civilized behavior. This is just a crude example of how civilized and uncivilized plays out. Cheating religions do not get to the root of the problem. In fact they are the problem. But real religion can free a person from addiction by encouraging dependency on a "higher Power" that higher power is indeed within oneself. As well as outside. You can say God if you want. Then there is no need for external rules. The person is guided from within. Such a society of people who are taking guidance from within is a civilized society. But to get there requires intervention. Just sharing some thoughts on this interesting topic.
