See the fact that we view ourselves the most important leads to our downfall. The early pagan religoun was founded of the gods of earth and nature. true that it had many selfich qualities it was still centered on a reverence of the earth. the same is true for native american beleif and wiccan and others. They all have a reverence of the earth and nature witch is veiw of ourselves as not the most important. The idea of ourselves being the most important has lead to the creation of the many different religouns and many wars. the holy wars for instance were begun by the church . The church was chreated as a form of control.
Bein selfish is a greet weakness of man. it leads us to our downfall. will answer this better later but as of now i am out of time.

Any ideas i voice or my opinion alone and i hope you will not find contemp in my words.

you haven't met the new generation of wiccans and witches, have you?

the church was created by followers of Christ that gathered together in small homes to celebrate Him and Gd, it was eventually used by megalomaniacs who saw how it could be utilized to control the ignorant masses and further their own greed. As for the pagan religions, they weren't all fluffy love either...it took several hundred years for the Christian church to move out of persecuted underdogs to become the bastard it's known for today, a lot of those glamorized ancient pagan cultures were no better, impressive or any more noble, they had to respect the land, because if they didn't, it could kill them, they needed it to be kind to them. Wouldn't worshiping, ritual and sacrifice out of concern for you own life be construed as selfish?

i think humanity has many more detrimental downfalls than selfishness, selfish people just think of themselves, not caring to bother other people, but other aspects of human nature require the offering of others to be placated, greed, lust, envy and wrath come to mind.
