Appointed leader in each age needed for religion to be true.

RE: Appointed leader in each age needed for religion to be true.
MK,

Are you familiar with the Piraha of South America? If not, I think you would enjoy learning about them, as I think their story butts up against what you're touching on in the OP.

They are a tribal people of hunter-gatherers notable, among many other things, for never having invented a religion of their own, including an origin story, and for resisting multiple attempts at indoctrination from missionaries. (Their language is also an interesting study as an argument is made for it lacking the recursive element that Chomsky posits as the common base of all language.)

I also can't help but to notice the vast amount of human existence you are leaving out of your assessment. Not only was most of the unreachable yet inhabited world left out of "God's glory" in biblical times, but so was a long stretch of generations going back some 200,000 years. Then, when you add all the other human species, you get a lot of hell-bound souls up shit creek without a paddle.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
