We Human are the only animal with thinking ability and intelligence. And we came to this stage through evaluations. So, I can say we are actually animals. And that is why though we are now able to think and have bigger brains, we sometimes act like an animal (act without thinking). I think everyone will be agreed on that.
So now, even at this modern society, we can see people acting like animals, so just think about the time of Moses, Jesus or Muhammad.
you can imagine the destruction of people; many bad things were occurred in the name of gods. Kings become gods, slavery was there, in some places women were rapes and slaughtered.
And time to time some people came to our earth with the aim to prevent these devils. They were different, they were thinker, I can assure you about that. they were not like others. But but, as they were not beyond the world, as they are human too, what did they do? they made new religions.
And each of them said his god was the true god and prohibited to do somethings and encourage to do some other things too.
To make others to believe about their gods, they made stories which got believed by the people. Later became holy books.
Yes, it was not that easy to make people believe. We all know one person even got killed.
Anyway, I think that time new religions were an effective way to manipulate mass number of people. to make people go in the right path. Though I wonder who tells them they were right.
