But then each group develops some sort of ego which leads them to the view that "my way is the only way, and you need to follow."

That's inherent in having multiple religions. If mine wasn't better than yours, I'd join up with your group. You run into a similar problem by having countries. Obviously, my country is better than yours. Nationalism is nearly as bad as religion.

I think that is one way Europeans are different than Americans. After so many centuries of wars based on religion and nationalism they tend to be shy of getting too much involved in either one. There's a major difference between patriotism and nationalism, but it's difficult to tell the difference by looking at the ceremonies.

I hope the part in the bible where it says that man was made in God's image is wrong [a translation error]. If it's right, God is one brutal sob.
