...spirituality, religion, gods, miracles, paradise, life after death etc are all things that in the ancient world were PERSONAL...they were initiated BY the people who formed, evolved and then lived these beliefs and passed them on to their children...religion was a common thread, running through the people who designed it from their own experience...a compound of their personalities, plus the terrain, animal life, vegetation, waterfalls, mountains, clouds, rivers etc surrounding them. They believed their gods were only effective in their immediate vicinity, but they also believed they could take their gods with them, hence the "idols"...and here`s a simple question for you...what the fuck is WRONG with IDOLS???

In the day when they knew little to nothing of what existed on the other side of a mountain range, or dessert or ocean or even lake...religion was an intensely intimate and local thing, the very opposite of a UNIVERSAL RELIGION...which is only "universal" in that someone took it from ONE corner of the universe and shoved it down the throats of EVERYONE in the universe...it is NOT universal because it appeals to people all on it`s OWN..it took massive force to make Christianity "universal"...given free choice, the overwhelming majority of the people on this planet and in the universe too, would have rejected it without a backward glance...as they STILL do!

A Univeral religion is like an International Corporation taking its product EVERYWHERE and making it the ONLY one of its kind allowed...it`s what emperors did...as one man tried to rule the earth, he tried to enlist ONE god to help him.

Imagine what happens if ONE FOOD is to be made universal..or one franchise? Imagine Denny`s becomming the UNIVERSAL RESTAURANT...the only one allowed...soon all regional dishes and variations and specialties are outlawed or driven bankrupt...soon there is no Japanese cuisine..no Morrocan food, no Indonesian food, no Sumatran, no Thai, no Persian, no Chinese, no Italian...but ONLY Denny`s VERSION of those foods...not only is the prospect dismaying, to say the least..but it`s so WRONG. To wipe out all the infinite number of varieties cooked up by various people over 5000 years to create ONE UNIVERSAL CUISINE..or religion...is a CRIME against food and a CRIME against people!

Which is EXACTLY what any universal religion is...a CRIME. The factual history of what the Christians did to the people of the New World is one long CRIME. A crime so diabolically carried out that to this day the offspring of those first murdered and forced into Christ sing the PRAISES of the very religion that MURDERED THEIR PARENTS. So it should be no surprise that there are "Assyrians" in LOVE with Jesus...also no surprise that Christians are TAUGHT barbarity from the cradle...and before.
