Vis-a-vis

Most of the religions agree unanimously on existence of one and only one omniscient, omnipresent entity called the GOD. All their life humans pray for different things. I think the whole deal with the prayers is that humans want to close gap between their own lifestyle and their perception of the god's lifestyle so that when they are face to face with the almighty they can relate to Him. In Hinduism, there are millions of gods and according to the literature they had a very social life-style consisting of united families, multiple brothers and sisters, and numerous relatives. And India menifests most of these qualities in their society today where social bonding is as imporatnt as individual growth. Where as in Christianity, there is only one god and supreme imporatance is given to Him. His life-style essentially menifested sense of independence and individualism. It should come as no surprize that most western societies have developed with these fundamentals in mind.
