diversity and morality

I've always wondered why diversity exists in this world as if it is very useful. We have learned since we were little kids that diversity (hopefully) enriches our world and our lives. But, does it really work that way? Through my observations and my own experiences, I've learned that it works in the opposite way instead. A lot of conflicts and riots happen because of the diversity itself, especially the cultural and religious clashes. Diversity limits our movements and our relationships with other people.

As for my religion, I've never questioned its value before. I do believe in my religion even until now. But I find some disconnection between the two sides that have been taught and rooted inside of me. I've never tried to blend science and religion into one sense, as I know it won't ever work at all. Yet, a study about morality that usually agrees on religion also denies all of it. I know that I wasn't good on it, and I always thought it was a useless subject, but there are some things that have been embedded deep in my heart and in my mind. 12 years of studying PPKn, I remembered clearly the basic things such as "don't force a religion on someone." I'm pretty sure all of the Indonesians remember this too. However, that's just merely a theory, isn't it? Easier said than done. For instance some religions restrict people of having some benefits if they marry others of different religions. Even worse, some religions also forbid people to marry others of certain religions. Don't you feel it's wrong? Contradicting the theory, those 'rules' indirectly force people to have some certain religions. I also feel the urge from people around me to make my prospective partner believe in my religion, otherwise I ought to find and marry another guy of the same religion. To be honest, I'm pissed off. So what's the point of penetrating those morality doctrines in my early years then? Why don't you just say everything honestly straight from the very beginning?

I know that the world would be dull if there was always a unity in every living aspect. Still, our world is too diverse that it can't take it anymore. The vision of having one single religion, language, or even culture throughout the entire world seems so blissful to me, though I know it won't be the perfect condition too. At any rate, I just want a harmony around me, at least around people whom I love. Is it possible???

Again, this is only a thought that needs to be expressed. No offense to anyone. Peace!
