One politician’s Good Friday
Mankind seems to have a sustained desire, even the crucial need, to believe in something, someone, way beyond his own mortal human everyday existence.
Religions spawned faith in even dependence on some Creator, Almighty, divine oversoul, a “God” – by whatever name (s) the various versions of religious beliefs described the source of the faith.
So what was humankind’s earliest, most original beliefs? What did the first humans – out of Africa – believe in, when their earthly daily considerations failed them? Did worship of sun, moon, water, air, animals spawn the major religions known today? I bet that Christians will point only to their Holy Bible to discover the answers and sources.
