That modern day religions are based on believable facts?
Are they better than old religions like the ones the ancient Greeks and Romans had?
Did every person that ever lived before Jebus/Allah/Whatever go to a supposed bad place like hell?
Do the majority of people in the world go to hell since there is no one religion that dominates the entire world? Would such a loving and understanding god let something like this happen?
Was religion initially created to explain the things people could not explain before technologies came along?
Are the Thundercats cool?

People were put on earth with the knowledge of what life, god and humans are all about. Over time man did 2 things with this information.
The first thing they did was reinterpret. Between the separation in culture, traditions and languages, we have added an awful lot to the true faith. I mean all religion started as the Jewish religion. But then a group of jews broke off and using the same princable of there religion created another one and said no look, this is the real religion.
They created the Muslim religions. The Christians came next and so on and so on.
The other thing that happened was religion, the true real faith was so hard to comprehend, man made stories and added it to religious faith. They did this to better understand there faith, to better teach it.
For example. Try to explain the color blue to blind man. You cant do it. So to make it easier, you may put an ice cub in there hand and say feel that? Thats the color blue.
The ark story, the ten commandments, what hell is really like, what god looks like up in heaven, all are Christian mythology to better understand there religion.
Each faith had done this in more than one way. Now the interesting thing is if you take away the mythology of all those religion what do you have?
You have one remarkably similar religion. I mean look at the ancient romans, Greeks and Christian even. There religion with all the mythology is very different. But take it away and there very similar. Both believe in one major god. The Christians its Jesus, the Greeks, zoos. The Christians have other high god like men. There saints. The Greeks, the other gods. **** the Christians even have a war god. Saint Michael. He was they guy who led the fight against satin and the fallen angels. You want to get pregnant and you’re a roman, you would pray to Mars. A Christian, Mary.
So its all perspective. Do I believe in abandonment of these religions. No I really don’t because religion is the base of our value, traditions and over all character.
I personally believe we are all part of god, we all are put on this planet to learn and become knowledgeable. I also believe god is not a man that sits in heaven with a long beard, but hes earth, life, love, even hate and war. The ying and yang. This is how he’s ever wear, and never no wear.
On top off all that, today science has disproved, traditional mythological stories of these major realigns. But proved many other things that is the core of all the major religion. We now know that our minds are capable of self healing. We know prayer can increase life span and increase your chances of living while having a fatal disease and so on.
Science can explain religion. Ghosts, heaven, hell, prayer and so on can be scientifically explained and measured. But at the same time it can be of gods making. O and hell. Hell isn’t a fiery place you go to when you do bad things. Its actually a cold depressing place you go when you die and become one with the higher you. From your new perspective you see how ****** up you mad your life and the life around you. So you don’t allow yourself into heaven. So hell isn’t a place you go for punishment, it’s a place you go as result. When the world ends god will release those souls from hell and let them into heaven. This was actually in one of the pages of the bible they didn’t put in.
PS
I know all this because god sometimes talks to me. Satin too, but hes a mean son of a ***** some times.

No religion is based on facts, that's why people say blind faith. They have to believe in something they cannot see. Organized religions were created by the people in power to control others by making them fear to break laws and do something wrong, this is where Hell comes in. That does not mean that religion is a bad thing, it can just be a dangerous tool for the people in power to exploit. I believe people did initially use religion to explain natural occurrences.

Yeah! The Thundercats are awesome.!!!
The only way people go to hell is by not accepting the fact that Jesus christ died for all our sins. but we must accept Him. Come aboard because Christianity soon will be the dominate religion.

I actually think people invented religions because they needed something to believe in. Everyone likes to feel like they have a purpose in life. I'm not really religious, but I can respect the people who are because it takes alot of committment, and dedication.
But then again when you think about it, Jesus didn't come out of no where....

We did not invent God. He created us. People accuse others who believe in God of not thinking, but it requires thinking outside the box to believe in something unseen. Many great scientists believed in something unseen and were eventually able to proof their theories. God will eventually prove the beliefs of Christians are right too.
