Ok, to many people this is going to sound like some crazy idea which is just as nonsense as the multitude of religions believed by billions today, but hear me out on this one 
Religion has been part of the human race for thousands of years, no one can deny this, however the average person never seems to question (or at least i havent heard them shouting loud enough) where exactly these religious beliefs came from. i mean sure people might say "oh they just came from some psycho who convinced everyone around him", but no one comes up with a real idea. so here's food for thought... what if it was indeed extra-terrestrial beings which influenced religion?
why do i say this? am i a mad man? well in regard to the second question quite possibly, but in regard to the first, i have seen plenty of things which would incline me to suggest this. for starters there are countless images drawn by cave men and ancient civilisations which seem to depict some space faring creatures, an example of it i will try and post. the 'ancient astronaut' theory as it has been called should be looked up if you really want to see where i am coming from.
this is probably all just a load of crap i grant you, but it is interesting to think that all of the major religions today and those in the past have all depicted gods/ a god which resides in the sky above, and that angels come from 'heaven' etc. but in fact what if these god's were E.T.? which have shaped our religious beliefs without us really knowing it?
i'm interested to hear any thoughts on this, and please if your going to shoot me down in flames please bear in mind i am not stating this as fact, just a possibility. if your interested to hear more evidence for this theory i will do my best to respond with some.
Thanks,
Napo
