Where Did Religion Come From?

[NotforSale]

Based upon the Faith of most in Christendom and how man lived his/her life in the beginning, imagine yourself in the following scenario;

You are the only man and woman on Earth, with no modern inventions. You have no books, no movies, and no ability to write anything down. The only tangible things are what God made (Trees, animals, oceans, sun and moon, etc.). Absent of all influences of today, you must determine the immensity of God and His Plan for your life. There is no such thing as Religion, Science, History, Government, disease, famine, war, and your wife is the person which will help you determine some kind of conclusion in a World void of understanding.

How would these 2 people visualize God, Faith and Science?

As they build their idea(s), will Religion's Vortex be the indefinite outcome?

Are we contaminated by Religious ideals, from those of the past who reached for something unattainable or incomprehensible?

Was failure and sin the platform for developing dogmas of judgment that caused murder, false accusation, and the imprisonment of innocent people via Spectral (unseen) evidence? (Stoning of the guilty; eye for an eye; execution of “Witches”; imprisonment of those in Science-Galileo Galilei)

Do all Religions of the Earth find their beginning with those who lived in a time when answers could not be found, and where science was guess work? (Most Religions are of Ancient origin)

Are we the victims of past inaccurate ideologies that were birthed during a time in History, when Man was forming philosophy and faith in ignorance and superstition? (Blind leading the Blind)

Is your Religion right?

Well naturally before anything else I'd beat the tar out of my wife to establish my dominance...

Ok joking aside...There's a lot of questions here. Can man and woman communicate to begin with, or would they have to figure out how to communicate?

Good question. I don't have the answer. The lack of communication might have caused the beginning of a Religion!

It seems in Faith today, there is a big lack of communication. That's why I'm on AFF. I need to communicate so I don't fall into the pit of my own idea.

What's the first thing we'd see/hear when we uh... first see or hear?

Others might pipe in and tell you that they think they know the answer to this question. I don't.

That's the problem with all Religions; they don't know. They might claim to know, but they don't.

You're going to make some simple questions into a chance to preach against religion...you put out a hypothetical situation, I'm asking you questions so I can hypothetically put myself in said situation. Or should it be as I imagine?

Your communication would be so natural that you are not seeing it at this remove; and you would naturally evolve a mythology about the things around you you could not understand, and this is exactly where religion comes from, yup. Passover becomes Ishtar, lol. I see our desire for religion and government simultaneously fading, hmm.

If a form of religion weren't to come out...then we would be stuck in a world without a creator, without any knowledge of what happens after, nothing to hope for if we weren't satisfied with the way the world is...do I have the hang of it now?

Very interesting. This is one of my points. Religion itself seems to all come from the same (or similar) origin, and despite our willingness to admit it, Religions are in fact very much the same. We can call another Faith inhumane, false, or immoral, yet in our own Faith we endorse a man (whoremonger) who had 700 wives and 300 concubines, as being the wisest man that ever lived. We also condemn the acts of men like Hitler, yet we justify the genocide (mass slaughter and murder of children, pregnant women, the mentally ill, innocent people, and the elderly) of Amalek as God’s Will.

What's even more interesting is that no Religion existed in the beginning if we take the Scripture literal, and the evolution of Faith in the unseen grew into an idea (Religion) that every Nation on this Earth has done.

Today, we see the detrimental impact of what Religion has accomplished on our war torn, Planet. Religion also causes severe blindness to those who are intoxicated by (it), simply because those of a self-centered idea are claiming they have the answer to what God expects of us. This, all while they are slamming the pulpit, extenuating the segregation of Blacks in Mississippi, railing on TV while they are Online, and condemning the growth of facial hair, which can’t even be supported by our own “Book”.

Any Religion that falls prey to extremism, they usually give in to war, hate, and self-justification. The followers become manipulated, to the point they fail to see their own mistakes. Literature becomes propaganda and fear becomes the last hope to restore the “Lost Sheep”. Any who change are considered compromisers, and people who move on are called backsliders.

Even in our own Religion, Leaders don’t want to look our Faith dead in the eye. We tell our constituents to not “Defile” their Temple, yet we are one of the most obese and sick groups of people on Earth. Our Divorce rate is no different than the National Average. Our Magazines have become another form of “Facebook”, where those who produce this media can say or present a very, false and biased portrayal of who we are not (any unchallenged media is dangerous).
