I was raised that way, Byrgg. I have no desire to completely escape it. It could be total fantasy. I acknowledge that upon death there may be nothing. Whatever, I don't really care. |

There are more than one type of primate, you know. One breed could've evolved into us. Not saying it happened, it is only a theory, but a fairly logical one. |

That involving from monkey's thing isn't actually true. We evolved from the same thing that monkeys evolved from, we just took a slightly different path. Monkeys are more like our cousins than our ancestors. |

Well, that's your belief, so w/e. I just don't see why anyone believes in it at all, I mean, we all agree that the world would probably be better without it, right? Different beliefs are a foundation for conflict. |

I agree there, but again, Life is a gamble, pic a belief and see where it takes you. War is the free will thing again (there i go) |

Yeah, now I'm remembering all that Discovery stuff I watched. Some changed drastically, others didn't, I suppose it was based on environments and such. |

We believe because we have for GENERATIONS. It's a tradition just like holidays, customs and the like. |

My question now though, is why did people begin to believe in it in the first place? |

Because someone wrote it down and preached it. At the time it made more sense than any other explanation as sciene and the like were non-existant or crude. |

The way that I believe that religion started as that it was simply used as a motivator. Don't do bad things, or you go to hell, where you'll endure eternal suffering! Do good things, so you go to heaven, the perfect ultimate utopia! A good method for convincing people to do the right thing, for otherwise many people would have no good reason to do good. However, then they mixed in some other stuff as well, and people made some changes over the years, and we ended up with what we have today. |

I know all of this, my purpose was to draw that information out. After reading the last two posts, does religion really make any sense today? |
