Religion as a Power
Religion above all things has been a factor, and sometimes the most important factor, in everyone's daily life. Religion is everywhere, with no avoidance possible (unless of course you are a hermit in the Himalaya). And for some religion has even destroyed their lives. To quote Albert Einstein, "If this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human feeling and aspiration is also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving out punishment and rewards He would to a certain extent be passing judgment on Himself. How can this be combines with the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him?". This is not a diminishing factor against religion. It is said to make a person think, not to prove religion wrong. But because religion is so powerful and probably ever flowing (in a time sense) it makes religion tedious and overbearing. But to some that's the point; religion wouldn't be religion if all you had to do was prey once a day it would seem to easy.

This "bad" is also labeled as Mother Nature, because why would this all merciful god create so much destruction, such as the weather volcanoes and earthquakes, lets put the blame on something else. With that kind of mercy who wouldn't worship that god? But once again with a good comes a bad. And in some the power was misused from personal vendettas to actual control over a noble and sometimes a king. Through fear of their very lives, the church was able to control peasants, noblemen and even each other (clergy). But for this man to do it on behalf of a God is, above all, a great and mighty deed. But there's got to be a way to keep the people coming to services associated with their worship. But through fear there is hope, and the power to "heal" through miracles and prayer. This, in my opinion, is very hypocritical when your "god" has already got your life planned out.
