Thanks for the comments.

I am all for the personal connection to God, I would like everyone to have it. Organized religion stops mans quest for a spiritual meaning. Religion tells man to say a few words, kneel, take communion & you are "saved". This stops the quest for divine experience.

50,000 years ago Shamans (wise men) studied the stars and quested for meaning. Their spiritual teachings ( entheogen inspired) became the first religious cults.

Plato wrote of the chaos & confusion of all the travelers gathering in Athens, each with their own religious customs. They suddenly realized that they could not all be right.

The mythology of ancient Egypt (Osiris, Horus, Isis, Ra, Set) evolved to control the slaves, based on prior religious practices. It was "updated" (to Jesus & Mary), to control the masses program 2.0.
