James: Theories on Religion.
Religion is a man made idea, something that was used because no one could figure out the true meaning of life, or how we came to be. In those days nobody had the right technology,
or or tools to prove how we got here, and the idea of one supernatural, or many supernatural beings came into perspective. The idea of a God is flawed. In some religions such as Judaism,
and... Islam, they claim that God had given some specific task to follow up. If God was the true creator, Why would he lead mankind into some many strays, instead of giving us the one distinctive path towards finding
him. He led everyone on a wild goose chase, in my eyes. So lets see, the first religions are mythologies. Greek, Roman, Norse, Egyptians, among several others. There "Gods" were there ideas to how things came to be.
Such as a God they prayed to for good crops, and a good harvest. They had no other way to interpret the things around them. After mythologies, came the Judaism, and Islam, and eventually Christianity, which all three
claim there is only but one God. They all Worship one God for all there necessities, and needs. So we went from many, many Gods, and Demi-God's, to just one almighty savior. How? People claimed that God came to
them through visions, these men called profits, could easily be the reason why religion is so widespread today, and If God, if there is a God, would channel these profits, like Moses, and Muhammad, why did he give each
a similar task, and not say he was the one, and unite all mankind together under one God? Some will fight this, and say the profits got the wrong message from the Lord. But in my perspective, these ideas, go the better
of people, and everyone followed blindly looking for serenity, and security.

The Bible:
Why is the bible so sacred, and holy? Was it truly the accounts of Jesus and his followers? Was it the first book of God? There were several accounts of other holy texts found that date back before the Bible, so why
is the bible such a huge deal? Because it was the first widely believed Holy text. In all speculation, there is no proof, that the bible was written by the apostles, or that the bible is even true. Granted there is some
scientific evidence that there is indeed a few truths behind stories in the Bible, such as the Noah's arc story, (which ill get to that later.) However there is no specific evidence pointing toward truths behind the idea
of God, and Jesus being his son. I believe the Bible to be a Chronicle of Stories created by us, to help guide people down the right paths in Life.
