“Religion” is a complicated invention of man. Man’s need to find a complicated explanation for simple things, a need to organize and structure a belief system that explains, regiments, and codifies behavior and beliefs. By fabricating complicated explanations for the simple we not only create a system of controlling our own behavior, but also create a system for controlling, or oppressing, the behavior of others, and in the end we also codify, define and demand our expectations of God. God’s expectations of us are set forth in the above quotes. Our expectations of him are summed up in two testaments and 2000 years of deviation from the above quotes.
