Religious rants

@chocopyro it is very important i believe. At the end of the day i respect whatever decision others have chosen. However, me within my own faith i feel like i should share my experiences with others. Honestly i am happier having come closer to God. Even reading the bible i have to stop myself during my lunch breaks to go back to work. Its kinda fun. I have completely immersed myself, so i can make a better argument. So i can be more prominent in the words of Jesus Christ and the workings of our Lord. It has even revealed to me a coworker of mine was also religious. I had honestly thought he was an atheist. He would make some iffy comments but he was infact Christian.

The origin of religion? The earliest archeological evidence interpreted by some as suggestive of the emergence of religious ideas dates back several hundred thousand years, to the Middle and Lower Paleolithic periods: some archaeologists conclude that the apparently intentional burial of early Homo sapiens and Neanderthals as early as 300,000 years ago is proof that religious ideas already existed, but such a connection is entirely conjectural. Paleolithic religion was possibly shamanic, oriented around the phenomenon of special spiritual leaders entering trance states to receive esoteric spiritual knowledge. These practices are extrapolated based on the rich and complex body of art left behind by Paleolithic artists, particularly the elaborate cave art and enigmatic Venus figurines they produced. The Neolithic Revolution, which established agriculture as the dominant lifestyle, occurred around 12,000 BC. Neolithic society grew hierarchical and inegalitarian compared to its Paleolithic forebears, and their religious practices likely changed to suit. Neolithic religion may have become more structural and centralized than in the Paleolithic, and possibly engaged in ancestor worship both of one's individual ancestors and of the ancestors of entire groups, tribes, and settlements. One famous feature of Neolithic religion were the stone circles of the British Isles, of which the best known today is Stonehenge.

"You guys misunderstand, the human sacrifices occured in DIFFERENT TRIBES ACORSS DIFFERENT CONTINENTS." Same thing with pyramids and sailing. Still, it's not like they just suddenly started doing these things. To us, yes, we can talk about what happened in 5000 BC and then another thing that happened in 2000 BC like they were two days apart but in reality that was 3000 years of someone having an idea, exploring it, executing it and then their people having almost 3000 years of refining it. https://youtu.be/CJdT6QcSbQ0

He started explaining at 10:50 for those who don't wanna hear prayer Edit: also he has a degree in science for those wondering his credibility. Here is his bio page he doesnt have his degrees listed here but he has mentioned it in his videos. https://pastorjohnbarnett.com/about/

He never answers "where do cavemen come from" but it is an interesting account of the spread of the Jewish and Abrahamic people. Cavemen predate this though.

This makes me wonder if people have tried to argue whether the two lines Abel and Cain are Homosapiens and Neanderthals though since "god chose one" line to move forward before the flood. ***annnnd they have https://www.treehugger.com/cain-and-abel-mystery-solved-4868069 https://www.science20.com/hawkins_science/blog/could_story_cain_abel_be_story_genocide_neanderthals (best one so far) https://annoyzview.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/mystery-of-cain-and-abel/

I have an article stating that homosapiens existed pre adam and eve. Which would kind of make sense as the bible between the slaying of abel and cain saying he shall surely be slain. It makes me wonder by who? Also where did cain's wife come from?
