The history of religion

[wellwisher]

The history of religion, is also the history of the development of the frontal lobe, which is the most modern and evolved part of the human brain. The frontal lobe is the seat of imagination. Data processing, within the imagination, is not limited to cause and affect or to random processes; laws of science. We can imagine things that defy science, such as floating on air in a dream or infinite lives in a computer game. Religions are connected to the frontal lobe and have developed brain IT systems, allowing humans to transcend nature. Atheism claims that religion is all imaginary. This observation is consistent with the frontal lobe development; eons of religious imagination leading.

Religion in many ways is the IT of the frontal lobe as well as its impact on the natural brain. It describes how the operating system of the brain was/is organized, and how it has evolved, due to the frontal lobe. Our imagination by being able to transcend natural laws, alters internal currents away from just natural sensory input.

For example, in early Greek mythology, the Titans came first. The Titan were projected images from the imagination, that describes the order of the firmware; imposed by the inner gods. It was fear driven due to the bestial and scary nature of these gods; release the Kraken. The stories and the impact on the frontal lobe, evolved the operating system.

The Olympians, who would overcome the Titans, symbolized an update in the brain's operating system, now driven by the new collective use of the frontal lobe. These gods were more humanoid; less scary, but still with unique powers beyond nature, that represented the optimized skills of civilizations. This was less driven by fear and more driven by desire; brighter day.

Monotheism was also an update, from polytheism, where the dissociation into many specialty gods; many firmware subroutines, is replaced by more of a central processing entity. The Trinity was another example of an update. It is not a throw back to polytheism, but is more like a multicore processor. Polytheism was a large range of subroutines, each with autonomy; multiple personality disorder. Monotheism consolidated the personality; from unified specialty to the generalists.

Modern psychology has no clue how to deal with brain IT as the level of the CPU; inner self. They wade in the shallows of the ego, which also uses the frontal lobe; diversity fantasy imagination. It is one thing to evolve the operating system with natural induced mythology, and another to evolve the frontal lobe with the illusions of fake news and shady politicians. Both can cause changes but both will not evolve your brains operating system. The dissociation seen in culture shows the down side.

all religions are Abrahamic in the sense that the gods were born in the ancient Near East.

Er, no.

 

[The Hammer]

Then how do they teach in the university that the concept of the heavenly gods appeared?

They don't. Studying religion leaves the idea of God or Gods to the individual.

Studying religion isn't about proving one religion right or wrong. It discusses what adherents of a faith believe and how that colors their worldly interpretation.

 

[Rival]

Er, no.

Egypt and India giving each other the look.

The history of religion, is also the history of the development of the frontal lobe, which is the most modern and evolved part of the human brain.

So, according to your theory when the frontal lobe had evolved enough, humans went crazy and started imagining gods who were raping their mothers and sisters in order to produce new gods.
Shouldn’t you study first what the ancients believed about their gods and then take an interest in ancient history to see if there was some connection between reality and what people believed?
Philosophizing is so easy since you are not obliged to provide evidence. You can say whatever comes to mind and be admired as a wise philosopher!!

Atheism claims that religion is all imaginary.

No, atheism claims that religion is a colossal fraud based on transforming criminal rapist kings, who were producing slaves in their human breeding grounds, into gods who were creating humans.
Those gods, i.e., kings and noblemen, were once said to have climbed ladders to heavens becoming the heavenly gods, one of whom created the universe.
So, I suggest that next time you do a bit of research before announcing a new theory.

Pity that the Bible does not agree with you.

The Bible isn't the only perspective on things. For me, the Bible might as well be another book in the library. That's really what it is.

Your theory is the only new one I have seen around in a while.

You came telling us that you studied religion at the university!
I know they do not teach the history of religion because they protect religion. Otherwise, if the academics were honest, religion would have been a thing of the past.

Do you have evidence?

Apparently, you believe there is only one religion.

 

[Trimijopulos]

Because it took thirty years to be completed and comes with plenty of evidence but… it takes some reading to be done. No inspiration from the holy spirit here.

Read the post and the attached articles.

Can't say I like "they" in such broad discussions. Sounds rather like the conspiracy theory idea is raising its head again. "They" implies something organized and continuous.
What was being taught in Soviet universities? Were the same "they" operating there? In the academic world of the present day, would the findings of a Marxist historian of religion have conclusions similar to your own?

Bwahaha... Whatever you say friend.

Edit: I have studied it. Sorry it didn't live up to your expectations of what university study entails. Maybe you should study it yourself then?

 

[Viker]

Please, be polite or you get no more replies from me.

One hymn does not produce “Religious texts”.
The Egyptian Pyramid texts are composed of 759 chapters and in Raymond Faulkner’s translation into English expanded to 319 pages of A4 size.

Irrelevant.

It predates the time period of your claim. Much of your claims seem to be unsubstantiated and hyperbolic. No peer reviews, until now.

I think I'll first let it be peer-reviewed by the folks on my ignore list.

Unfortunately, it is “they”, the Soviet academics included.

The subject of religion is not very difficult, but it is extremely complicated.
The oldest religious texts are the ancient Egyptian pyramid texts. What those texts teach us is that the pharaonic kings were a special sort of criminals who were killing their own children in order to build the preternatural temples, statues, and pyramids they so much liked.

The Egyptologists are fond of kings because their first sponsors were kings. They could not reveal the crimes of the ancient kings and as a result an important part of ancient history, the practice of using human breeding grounds, is kept concealed.
So, to know what exactly is written in the oldest religious texts, one cannot trust the translations and has to read the original himself.

In other words, the subjects of religion cannot be seriously discussed unless the evidence is presented and analyzed.

There is an Egyptian wooden tablet that is 5,070 years old and mentions the gods Anubis and Horus.
Are we going to call that tablet the oldest religious text?

As for peer review, you prefer it because it is so much easier to believe the peers without having to value their evidence, since it is not provided, than study the evidence I provide.
