Neeta, you may be right, and you do bring up valid points, but again, if someone finds security and comfort, and perhaps even happiness, in believing in an omniprescence, then what's the harm? And I KNOW at this point you're going to bring up the fact that many groups of people, throughout history, have engaged in bloodshed in the name of religion.
I think that the various differences and inconsistencies between the heavenly beings depicted in the gospels and holy texts of each religion automatically bring up the conclusion that none of us have correctly interpreted God's theoretical nature. You can't lay the blame on God because human nature is at work here. What makes religion dangerous is not the intangible nature of our relationship with God (which raises the question of doubt), but the fact that theology is a very compelling and personal subject, which allows it to be manipulated for political, social and even monetary reasons. Religion itself doesn't lead to war and conflict and by essence seeks to prevent it. But when one man can accuse another of heresy simply due to religious differences, that is where religion is subverted into guilt and bloodshed.
