I don't know why people never seem to look in to the origins of the various religions and see how some of them overlap, even intermingle.

 

The earliest known site which has been ascribed some religious meaning is at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. It has been variously dated as up to 10,000 years old but most of the "findings" are little more than conjecture.

 

The Sumerians are much better known and have left behind a great deal of information about their beliefs.

 

Moving closer to the present day, the Yazidi are currently in the news and their religion is variously ascribed to pre-date Judaism.

 

No matter, all the religions have one thing in common and that is that they evolve over time, they're altered, edited, changed, call it what you will but it shows that due to the changes, none of them can be a true representation of what they all claim = THE true religion.

 

They can't be "true" because of the alterations, some of which are made to suit the impositions of those "with power" = "What I say goes".



It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
