Religion began because man didn't want to die.  There is a certain fear of death that prevails in our lives. But we will be okay, if we know that we're going to keep on living after we are brain dead.  Many people are the living brain dead. 

The Bible was written by people who were trying to make sense of it all.  The Bible was translated by people who were trying to make sense of it all.  The Bible was changed and changed and changed by people who were trying to make sense of it all.  The Torah, the Jewish holy scriptures, is simply Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and
Deutoronomy...the first five books of the Old Testament.  We all have the same God.  Whether we worship Jesus, Allah, Cows, Budha, or any other entity, and if there's a God, we all have the same God...no  matter what we call him/it/her.  It's complicated.  And most of it makes no sense.  All of it is supernatural; unexplained.     Have you read the Book of Mormon?  Have you read the Torah?  Have you really read your Bible?  Have you studied multi religions?
