Then on the 7th day there was light. When you die there will be 100 virgins waiting for you in heaven. Don't do this or you won't get into heaven.
Sorry if I offend anyone but I am just going to say it how I see it.
Religion is a means of control. Has been for a long time. Human beings are the first species (that we know of) to question our existence. Questions
(however difficult they maybe) will always attract attempted answers.
Sun god, moon god, war god, water god, 8 armed god, gods son born of a virgin who can walk on water and turn water to wine.
It's human nature to try and explain the unexplainable. It is also human nature to go with the flow and accept someone else's story for lack of a
better option.
The priests or whoever made these stories up no doubt loved the attention and elevated status. Everyone else is out in the field working while they
sit in their temple with their golden wands and try to keep their god happy. If any untoward questions arise, just scare the people with another made
up story of how god will smite them if they do not obey.
IMO this is how it started and to some degree how it remains today.
I know there are many valuable lessons in the bible "do unto others" "thou shall not steal." This is not the word of god, this is the word of a
small group of people who want a functioning society so they can reap the benefits and maintain control.
I can understand nations who are far less technologically advanced believing in these fairy tales, but it completely astounds me how many people
living in England, Australia, USA etc, still believe this nonsense.
Creationism should not be taught in biology. It should not be taught period.
Religion is doing and has done nothing but divide and dumb down the people of this beautiful planet.
IT'S EVOLUTION BABY!!!
Yes I know there are still unknowns but it is far and away the more logical 'theory.'
