Religion – a purely geographic coincidence

Sunday, 11 October 2015, 09:05 Last update: about 10 years ago

Have you ever wondered why you were brought up in your particular religion, whichever that might be? In all probability the particular society in which you grew up adheres to the same faith and has done so for hundreds or even thousands of years. In reality this stranglehold over the mind of society has been extant since primitive times and over this long period truth was never on the agenda.

Have you ever considered how many different religions have held sway over gullible humanity before they themselves joined the category of myths? But before being relegated to their mythological corner, in their heyday these religious faiths performed miracles by the thousand according to the testimony of the many believers of those bygone times.

Despite their apparent diversity that in reality is only skin deep, religions always shared one thing in common; every single one of them claims to be the one and only true faith and this of course for obvious reasons that need no explanation here 

So at the end of the day, whoever you are and wherever you may be living, the ultimate factor that determines one’s religion from birth is a purely geographic one with very rare exceptions.
