Default Re: God, Monotheism & Peace

Correct me if I am wrong, because I do not really understand your post but what I got out of it was that

A) Humanity is dependent on monotheism
B) Polytheists and "pagans" are ignorant and do not support any human goals
C) Peace is also reliant on monotheism
D) While there are separate religious groups there can not be peace

I think in your reference to monotheism you are only considering Christianity, which would be hypocritic as in the beginning of your post you state

You build your argument on the idea that what you believe is right and that others are wrong, which is the very premise of what you are proposing to stop.

I think that the only way to reach the equilibrium you are proposing is to completely take religion out of the picture. As seen in history cultural differenced can be overcome but religion is one thing that will always cause problems. Unless there is an annihilation of separate faiths in the near future there will be no way short of mind control that the entire world will believe in one faith. The way to make the best decisions is objectively through the lens of reason.
