what he said...

superstition or not, it is important to keep in mind that the dominate religions of today are the result of random outcomes and events that gobbled up the other 1,000s of religions along the way. a chance happening here or there or one battle goes the other one, we could have completely different dominate religions.

the point is these man made constructs are just that, created by men. religion was inevitable and we seem to view it through the narrow prism of a few hundred years. religions surviving this long don't make them right, just makes them the lucky winners of randomness.
