The desire, the need to worship a higher power seems to be part of man's nature just as much as seeking out food and shelter. I would challenge anyone to discover a society anywhere that has no religious practices at all, no reference to moral and spiritual direction to something outside of themselves.

While the pursuit of religious supremacy or orthodoxy has produced horrible results at times so has the pursuit of almost every human endeavor.

“He may have an excuse for not knowing Who God IS.”....

But man has no excuse for ignoring the need for knowing anymore than ignoring the need to eat simply the best diet is difficult to find.

Indeed the pursuit of God has been one of greatest of human endeavors throughout man's history.

So very true!

Thank you for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

In other words, driven by insecurity (fear) and ignorance.

That's because ignorance and fear is universal.

I am glad you acknowledge it is a human endeavor. Some still insist it is all God's doing, part of his "Plan".
