Religion/god is just wishful thinking.

Many of these predate their Scriptural form and vary in many important details. The Gilgamesh flood epic sounds much like Noah’s flood. Babylonian artifacts match description of Cherubim and Seraphim found in the biblical texts. This should not surprise us. The Word originated from YHVH, divinity itself, as an inexpressible. To reach the human intellect, it needed to take a form adapted to our understanding. Under the Lord’s guidance, spiritually perceptive story tellers folded spiritual messages into longstanding legends."[/i]

Strange that the stories from different regions are not like the bibles though isn't!

It's almost as though they were just copying each other and not receiving "revelation".



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
