Whats the true origin of religion?

[ThaChozenWun]

6000-3000 BC, the Sumerians should also be on the list of important dates, they were the first people to write down their beliefs as well. They were THE FIRST to acually speak about gods coming on flying machines and helping to advance human life. They are also the first to start city type structures in which they attribute to gods showing them how to build them. I guess maybe they arent on the list because they werent really the religious mold used but imo they should be.

Ignorance. And so does everything else. Everything we know came from ignorance.

At first we don't know something(ignorance) and then we do. Out of ignorance comes knowledge, like sound comes out of silence.

sound logic. if one were to follow that logic, out of death comes life....or out of life comes death. and out of witnessing death comes questions about death. out of questions comes "answers" out of answers comes religion. out of religion comes conflict, out of conflict comes war. our of war comes death again....

Bout time u got off all those sub par threads

The origin of which religion?

Religion is just a set of beliefs based on selected facts.

Some beliefs are true. Some are falsehoods. In that, most religions, which are from men, deal with a mixture of both.

Most religions might stumble upon a true belief here and there every once in a while, but the vast majority of their time is spent in dealings with beliefs that God don't agree with.

God is the one that provides truth. God cannot lie.

God has revealed the true set of beliefs to follow in His word.

Why waste time in practicing and living by a set of beliefs that come from men when God has saved us the trouble of taking guesses by revealing the truth?

In what way has this truth been revealed?

No rhetoric please.

The orgins of religon is fear.

Nope. Some of the most fearless people I have met are religious people.

The origin of religion is intelligence that realizes that everything in creation has order and regulation if it wants to sustain itself in creation.

Sounds a lot like science.

By means of the Holy Spirit, through the inspired writings of prophets and apostles, the holy men of God, before us.

All in The Book my man.

 

[Ioniz3dSPIRITZ]

A little off topic but most religions tell the story of a great flood. Perhaps this great flood they speak of could have been a result of the flooding that would have occured with the melting of the ice caps, signifying the end of ice age. Perhaps religion is all we have left to commemorate a time in human history long forgotten. Washed and buried away.

Rhetoric.

These are all men. You said that we should not listen to men. Prophet and apostles were men. Contradiction.

Probably a better question to ask is what is the true purpose of religion; what is it's true objective? It suppose to help us try to deal with the questions of why we are here, what's wrong with the world, what is considered right or wrong, and what can be done so everyone knows? Nowadays it serves a totally different purpose.
