We spend 90% of our time trying to be different.

When some one at school confuses me with another girl, my answer to them is, "I am unique there is no one like me." My religon taught me that people outside of my religion are worldly, therefore, we are different. I belonged to the "special group of people who will live for ever in paradise. I was different than the rest of the world." Weber explains that religion has taught their followers a status of distiction which is guarantee by conventions and laws, but specially by "religious sanctions." I don't know what he means by sanctions but I think that religion should be hold accountable for many cathastrophic political decisions that have devastated countries, that have created genosides, that have murder women and children simply because the opposite side has diffent color eyes, skin tone, different opinions, different religion!!. I seems that I am contradicting my self when I say "different religion" (is it a back fire?) But, I think that it proves that religion should be blame for making me believe that I was different than you.
