Why not one religion?
Perhaps one religion can't fulfill spiritual needs No one religion can fulfill everybody's need at every level. Perhaps people are stubborn and stringent not to believe or respect other religion. Guru in every sect of religion teaches not to believe in other God or religion or other sect of the same religion. Their view is limited and not widen. People are not broadminded in name of faith, or religion. Anthropolist study the influenence of religion on events. Historian seek to understand the symbols, docterines. Phenomenologist study rituals. Orthodox people are interested in studying only there own faith & likes to find out truth with reasoning.
A religion can only survive if it is able to address the problems of people. It has to change and must be versatile as world changes, mind of people changes. It can't remain stagnant.
To encounter evil poverty is never glorified. Wealth is needed to live with dignity. It is indispensable for growth of society, promotion, cultivation of commerce industry, research, discovery. Wealth can destruct evil if not misused misled or retain self indulgence and gratification.
Jainism supernatural power is power of omniscience has nothing to do with creation Arhat cant create universe. God for Jainas is not an abstract supernatural entity controlling universe. For Jainas God is an ideal, Liberation of soul is goal. Seawaves can't be created or ended It is natural process same way universe cant be created or ended universe has no begging or end..
