Wrong guess I have read The golden bough and several books on history.That was the first thing I did when I left the church.Church history is rife with false history the so called holy bible is the prime example of this.Theology,philosophy and all the so called studies of ancient history especially when trying to find origins to religious beliefs and such are all over complicated systems of thought.Almost in all religious systems that believe in a God or gods it is evident that god is their own creation.All of the so called qualities of these gods are personified and are mere reflections of man.
Especially in Judaism and Christianity where God has all of the exact same emotions and personalities of man both negative and positive.I may be mistaken but you seem like you have been brain washed by one or more of our so called many institutions of higher learning.The study of religion and god is actually a very simple matter when viewed objectively and not being biased and trying to read meaning into something so obvious.Man created god or gods in his own image not the other way around.This my friend padraic is obvious and actually the so called study of theology in my view isn't a valid system of learning since it is nothing more than the study of god and trying to understand him,it or her.Using a myth as your starting point and then building upon that myth to perpetuate it does not make that myth true.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
