A Question to the Theists Here

[Almighty FSM]

I'll answer all of the above questions will a question of my own. Why have religions evolved through time and branched off into different denominations? If the original message was clear and concise when it was delivered from God, then why change it? I'll tell you why it was changed because I saw it in a vision from the Almighty FSM. As society progressed, people's views of their religion were not to their liking. They then changed it just a little to suit what they wanted while keeping that there is an almighty God. Each denomination changes it a little and so on. Why then was their chosen religion, if it is absolute truth, changed in the first place? Could it be the religion in question was falling behind the times. It's clever advertising without a doubt. Same thing as a face lift. People don't like this product anymore because it's outdated. Let's change one or two things then market it as something new and improved. Religion has to keep trendy after all. Don't want to risk losing any money to this giant cash cow called religion. It amazes me to no end that people can not understand this. This is also probably why advertising doesn't work on me but does a great job affecting the general masses. It's a tried and true technique for religion. They both advertise you'll be a happier/better/trendier person if you buy/accept the product they're offering. In the end, they both get your money and you get a sense of self-satisfaction until the next version comes out. Don't forget to stay trendy now.


Ok since it is all about interpretation. You do know, given enough time and collective minds, one can interpret anything to mean anything else. Someone could have written in a book 2000 years ago I threw a rock into the heavens. Now someone today could interpret I knew one day man would create rockets to explore outer space. Now another person comes along and interprets something completely different. Something like the prediction of the Burj Khalifa. I knew one day man would try to build a tower to the heavens. Both claims are complete and total bullshit. All I did was throw a rock up into the air because I was bored and some idiot, probably messed up on opium, thought it was a holy prediction of the future. It's all about interpretation. Now apply that same messed up way of thinking to religious texts and, almost like magic, you have your chosen religion.
