Perhaps I am lacking in courage, so I won't reply.
You are definitely lacking in that area, allow me to explain why.
Almost 9,000 years ago a man, who is now part of Chinese mythology, wrote down how to conquer the world. He wrote it after living a life in a culture that was swept away by a large tsunami. His writings were inspired by great woes on par with what has recently happened in Japan or Haiti. Suffering in his writings is part of conflict, which is needed to get to the steps which transcend conflict. The oldest known document of his writings is written on turtle scapula shells.
Around the same time all the way across the world in the South American continent lied a culture who had a peculiar form of divination. We refer to it today as scapulimancy. What these ancient people were doing was heating up scapula's that had been inscripted with a symbol or group of symbols. At a certain heat the bones would crack and then the heat would be removed. Then a trained magician would interpret the cracks in the bone. They used it to try to commune with the spirits of the earth in order to understand where they were in the process of life. To them, just like people today, life was a mix of blessings and curses and they sought to understand how it all worked. There is an interesting thing about this ancient South American culture, however, they had no war. They had two types of governments throughout their time: economic and idealogy. Both had strengths and weaknesses, but neither faciltated violent disputes.
A great change came to this culture with the invention of a proto-writing archive process ("Hey what if we USED those big flat bones to keep our history instead of just throwing them away?). With the invention came a system of truth keeping and of lie keeping. Because once you write something down and get agreeance how do you unwrite it? Destroying a governmental archive is not really a viable option. So, our ancestors took the good with the bad of proto-writing technology.
What eventually happened though is that the lies overtook the truths and they ended up with corruption. Today systems of government, like the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, end up with skeletons in their closets because of people trying to hold in the truth that they have been lying for thousands of years. That's why people are going crazy right now all around the world. That's why we are seeing uprisings galore. The internet is bringing it all forth and that comes with good effects and bad effects. It's change. Long ago we used to be a people who were peaceable with a knack for settling disputes without violence. But, for every bright idea there are unimaginable ramifications for generations to come.
Which brings me to you and your religion that worships the Staff God, the god of the Lie. How can I be so bold, you ask? I wish I could dig up a transcription of the sales pitch I was presented at a convention about the Jehovah's Witnesses "amazingly new printing press." This printing press was so state of the art that it could print magazines like crazy, and with less workers! Of course you just sent those workers home with nothing for the most part, just like the Staff God with do with his young, while you oggle at your shiny new printing press. Did you make it in the shape of a scapula bone? That would be cool. It should at least have one inscribed somewhere.
You see, you worship a machine and that's not very courageous. What would be courageous, however, is if you threw Emperor Palpatine over that railing because he's trying to kill the people who God loves. He tried to convince us to worship interpretations of bone cracks, he succeeded in getting us to fight with each other and now he is trying to kill us because we wont budge.
