Quote:Interesting point , so I wonder what came first the Theist or the Athiest.
This is just my assumption but i assume early mankind was born with no knowledge of god, things which couldnt be understood in life were assumed to be gods hence the invention of polytheism, different gods for different things which werent understood. Then from this idea evolved the idea of a single god, but bringing with it many of the rituals which the old religions had.
Also i assume this is true since all three main monotheistic religions mention punishment for those worshiping more than one god, hence the worship of many gods was something the creators of monotheistic religions were aware of.
Examples of christian traditions and ideas taken from pagan ones are baptism, easter, haloween, halos, christmas and worship on sunday.
Ive also heard allah used to be a moon god with sisters.
But basically no im pretty much certain no baby is born with a belief in god but because were born in a world we dont understand superstitions begin.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
