History and archaeologist have
confirmed the earliest human being prayed and feared "SUN". The
warmth and comfort from sun on chilling winters must have given them the idea
of power source.
With due course of time and increase in awareness with increase in needs mankind started thinking of new power sources like the clouds, thunder, rain, sea, water, fire, earth, animals etc. started the process of recruitment of new Gods and demigods. People started socializing and made colonies and groups and the definition and segregation of gods which was previously a global understanding started developing locally. Human customized the definition further more considering the surrounding geography and to attain a civil society. Like in a rain forest they will prey woods, in desert they will prey the desert animals, etc. So here the religion got distributed by different power sources.

Great philanthropist and thinkers
of that time who were thinking of the greater good of the society started
making stories and myth on concepts like “Punishment”, truthfulness, empathy,
forgiveness etc including GOD in those stories so the public could understand
the value system of the society. It was a process to follow because of lack of
language. But at the same time parallel to this reformation process of the
civil society some people took advantage of new definitions by corrupting the definitions
so that they can acquire power. For example making stories about rivalry among
gods like Zeus and Hyades, Loki and Thor etc. My understanding is that when
they were creating or writing the story involving gods they may have got
carried away a bit too long. You see the more the story goes the more complicated
it becomes and to make the matter the worse different outcomes and
understanding can be derived from that. So here the religion got differentiated
form point of view.
Now with the modernization of the ongoing
society came the time of empires and kingdoms. There was a substantial
difference in the division of power. The weak got exploited and the rich and
powerful went on exploiting. With centuries of exploitation the sufferer went
on looking for redeemers. And then came the time of spiritual messiah’s. These
people were great thinkers who had the simple ability to look beyond the
problems of their own. They had definite morals and ethics of their own and
with that they choose to defend the people whom they care and whose sufferings
they could not withstand. They profess very simple things like the group could
solve a problem if an individual is not capable of doing it. They brought a new
sprit to the wounded, both physical & mental. They brought new ideologies,
new practices on the sole purpose of keeping the environment and self clean
which in turn give a healthy mind set. They guided the philosophically
misguided. With due course of time they had followers and disciples who learnt
their teachings. After them their works and documented verses were followed and
here some people who were power hungry saw a way of commercializing the whole
process. So they made institutions and did branding and acquired more followers
by taking necessary means. These institutions got so powerful that they even
got beyond the powers of kings and borders. But due course of time the
inevitable occurred again. In these so called religious institutions started
the war of priorities which led to the more divisions of religions. So here
religion got differentiated by so called religious institutions.
So here I am thinking what and
where it all got wrong. Is it some one particularly to blame or is it a natural
order pertaining to human behavior? Is it a nature’s way of balancing the human
race by creating difference so that to bring a order? Or are we just being FUCKING STUPID!!!
What should have been so pure and
wonderful was transformed to something hideous and monstrous. What something
should have been for making you a perfect being made you something who is in
constant vigilance around his surroundings?
After a lot of arguments what I still
believe there are a lot of bullshit in religion views which are the results of different
point of views and different adaptations to the generation change.
In extreme harsh ways I can
describe the religion as follows.
“There was a new underwear which
was comfortable and soothing to his owners, then it got inherited by the successors
and the damn fools forgot to wash it and went on wearing it. And now we are the
current owners of the underwear. So it is upon us whether we wash it and remove
all the millenniums of dirt and filth of previous owners or we as well just go
on enjoying the itchiness in the crotch!!”

Well said, especially the one about the underwear. The problem is that the majority of the 'followers' of a religion are the bugs who stay in the dirt in that underwear. They will never let the undie be washed. No matter how hard we try.
