No shots at any religon or athiests, i just want to evoke discussion and see others view on the topic, maybe I can learn something.
started to cover the Roman empire and th begining of Christianity. As im reading the chapter, I keep questioning the whole idea of religon. It seems as if the foundation of many religions is just to give hope. Albeit that hope is needed, defintely back in the pre civilization days. The idea of morals helps make life better for everybody. Lets say ima broke boi back in the day and my neighbor Obama flexxxin all crazy, whats to stop me coming for your neck? If i thought it would risk my chances of going to some sort of afterlife maybe i would just grind it out.
  So i got to thinking. Lets say there is no God as many do believe, how did EVERYTHING begin? the big bang theory? Admittingly I dont know to much about it but from what i gather, it was a big explosion of energy that caused the formation of the universe as we know it. Ok, so where did that energy come from? energy doesnt just poof out of thin air, it had to have a source.

Once i get to that thought, God the only answer I can think of tbh
