There are many religions, and each of them claims a certain
authority over the truth. Those in Europe that first claimed that
the Universe did not revolve around the Earth were in danger for
the peacefulness of their lives.
So, I look to the many religions, as I do not doubt that there is a
vast intelligence in the Universe. And I ask myself, "How will I
know the one that speaks the truth?" And the answer occurs to me as
this. Just as we do not have a Universe revolving around us, we are
not the center of the Universe.
And I will recognize the "true" belief when I hear of the one that
does not require one to "do something about it."
Certainly, if such a religion does exist, it is not one easily
heard above those whose truths force converts, or money, or power.
But likely, the truth is, that there is nothing we are supposed to
"do about it."
To do things in the stead of the supreme power in the Universe
seems to me to be even more arrogant than to believe that the
Universe revolved around the Earth.
