Because its one of the most sacred, detailed forms of prescription in life, its enough to choke the life out of the entire human organism. Those who get the religion ultimately, consequently are the ones who are least affected by it. A man of a religion and of faith is a man of nothing, unless he is man of himself first. I’m sure the founders of all the religion that we know and adore so fervently all over the world, and hate sometime as well, were anything but followers, and I’m sure were they to be asked to derive the true consequences of their life, a herd of sheep would be not one of them.
Cause it is against the human nature to follow, yet we follow all the times, in a way, the greatest form of following is religion itself, the founders of these religions were anything but followers, they were trail blazers of the highest kind, so were there disciples for a while, as long as the direct inspiration lasted for a while in time. The inspiration got diluted over time, we developed funnels of looking at these personalities, and now funnels are all that remain, essence lost, and the shells, out of shape, bent, empty, restrictive rules remain, which are used to tie men down forever; in the state of apathy, and lack of inspiration.
There is nothing inherently wrong with this, this is a very effective form of survival strategy, this works very well for the masses, it allows people to survive for a little bit of effort, though its absolutely soul sucking, it gives lives to the people who would not have lives otherwise, discarded to boundaries of the village, such as crippled, people of low practical intelligence, people of special needs, etc they live now in well comfortable lives comparatively, what would be otherwise be possible. But survival that is it all.
