I was sent to a catholic primary school, shortly after first communion (aprox. age 7) I realised that what was being said did not gel with the reality I experienced, as such I was left with the inescapable conclusion that none of it was true.
Fast forward to last year of university, my house-mate was religious and made some off the cuff statement about there being vast amounts of evidence but was unable to substantiate.
I was by this point fully capable of conducting my own academic research the results of which were shocking in the damnation of the OT as a heap of contrived lies largely plagiarised from Sumerian sources (Epic of Gilgamesh, Epic of Sargon) and ultimately dating to around 450BCE (or at least the narrative doesn't directly contradict physical archaeological sources after this point) though the sheer volume of fakes and forgeries presented as evidence leads me to wonder if there is anything worth bothering with in the whole of Abrahamic monotheism.
Taking up Dawkins meme theory and the survival benefit hypothesis leads me to suspect this can be demonstrated with the Prose Edda (Norse) for reindeer/caribou hunters, ref; Ray Mears.
Still researching Mahabharata
