just a thought.

Not a bad thought except for the fact that there is nothing to compare my vision against. There is no way to say that God is lacking in my life if Vishnu is the real deal. There is no way to say that I am missing Odin in my life if Cthulhu is the real deal.
What is the real deal?
And yes, I believe that people use religion/faith to fill a void in their lives even if they don't realize it. Otherwise what's the point?
Well, there's that whole ethnic cleansing thing but that's a whole other debate.
