The Evolution of God

Is our people's God jealous of your people's God? Should religion unite us or divide us? Is our view of your God driven by theology, or is it shaped by whether we want to trade with you or take you...

and the holy books of the 3 abrahamic religions follow the history of their respective peoples, accomodating for their needs and guidance in accordance with the unfolding of the events at the time.

Actually, you have this almost 100% backwards my friend. Early traditional roots of religion (particularly Christianity) were very specific at the times of it's origins, but over time, mix of diverse cultures and typically a strong influence from a government standpoint, what used to be simplistic has sprouted in to many different doctrines, philosophies, and spectrums. It metaphorically compares easily to a message being passed through about 10,000 people. Time+human factors+religion=distortion

I dont think we disagree on much really.
Let me put it as a question then.
Whats YOUR context for myth, & for a religion?
I agree, the bible was a science book for when people didnt know about weather patterns etc the search for out side agency. It created common culture & unity, & book 2 offered a better life for people with miserable lives who died at 29.
Theres no escaping it, religion is indeed the story and history of humanity as much as DNA.

In some cases religion and what you are brought up to believe is more important then your physical attributes.(I would not go so far as saying it is on oar with your DNA however) It is the nature vs. nurutre argument. And I define Mythology in relation to religion to be more like a legend which is easily told in differnt versions or can easily be relatable to differant audeinces. Religionis much more "set in stone." Althought even religions like Christianity slightly very from region to reigon.

Religious common ancestors I agree, it probably went in both directions.
But I wouldn't call them myths, I think they have to still be called religions as they were sincerely believed by those people.

It is I think the promise of a happy after life in heaven compared to Hades which is a bit of a lonely affair that Christianity owes its success.

As much as I hate saying this phrase we must agree to disagree, I think the foremost purpose of any religion is to explain the unexplained and for also to reach a common connection between people. And sadly while I do think it binds people within a culture together in a common ancestry it has to often had the oppisite effect on people who come from outside of ones own cultures.

I findreligion interesting nothing more, because as I have said previosly it isin a way a history of the world.
