On Faith:

• If I lived in Egypt in 1500 BCE, I would have had an absolute and unquestionable belief in Amun-Re.
  
• If I lived in Persia in 1400 BCE, I would have had an absolute and unquestionable belief in Zoroaster.
  
• If I lived in Babylon in 597 BCE, I would have had an absolute and unquestionable belief in Marduk (but I would have liked Ishtar better!).
  
• If I lived in Greece in 435 BCE, I would have had an absolute and unquestionable belief in Zeus (but I would have liked Aphrodite or Pallas Athena better!).
  
• If I lived in Scandinavia in 700 CE, I would have had an absolute and unquestionable belief in Odin (but I would have liked Thor better!).

Living in the USA of today, should I have an absolute and unquestionable belief in YHWH the God of the Hebrew Bible?
So much for the faith and tradition of our Forefathers. A faith that started around 100 CE for Westerners. Legitimacy came around 313 CE with Constantine’s Edict of Milan. Split up into Roman Catholic and heretical Protestant many sects with the advent of the printing press (1400’s) and is almost ignored in Europe now. Leaving the United States as the true believers on par with the fanatical Muslims.

The funny thing about the heretical Protestant Reformation is that once the unity of Christendom was cleaved, it can go on splitting ad nauseam depending on which verses of the Hebrew Bible one fancied the most.

Whereas Christendom had only one god and only one truth thanks to the heretical Protestant movement and their Hebrew Bible for the masses it would still kind of have one god but conjoined in a required trinity due to the central role given to the son, Jesus and many truths depending on how Hebrew Bible verses are interpreted. So much for an unequivocal divine revelation! Oh, the tangled web of sheer nonsense have the heretical Protestants weaved for themselves...

72% of Americans believe in creation and in 1905 it is said only 5 people understood relativity. What does that tell you about the quality and knowledge of the masses?

It should be noted that I do not vilipend or vituperate "faith" or people of faith. On the contrary, I admire them. What I object to is where this faith is placed.
