One of my favourite books is “The Source “ by James A. Michener.
It is fiction, but it gives an interesting perspective of how people began to worship gods. I have read it numerous times and the edition I have now is all taped together.
I think that I may have mentioned this before, but when I was just out of high school I was playing in a heavy rock band. My older brother had been struggling with addiction and turned to religion for help. Well he essentially joined a cult that had him burn all his albums. First editions of “The Guess Who”, “Neil Young and the Squires”, etc.
He came to my place unexpectedly just to tell me that I was going to hell for playing rock music!! Fun and warm hearted conversation that was…
Anyhow, I got pissed off and decided to get a degree in theology just to combat his BS. I ended up quitting when I was told that I needed to pick a school of divinity and therefore a religion in order to finish. No thanks.
I know, too wordy and too much information, but I got a look into the different perspectives out there.
My 2 pesos.

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
