Abrahamic Religions?
How can I explain fully what
is meant by Abrahamic
religions??

These are the 3 main religions-Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They all believe in God that Abraham believed in. Abraham was a prophet and his decendents were considered great in numbers. |

What religion is older than Now, I was wondering if there
were currently any religions
older than Abrahamic
religions. Where and when did
Abrahamic religions originate?
When did humans first show a
belief in the Abrahamic god?
I'd like to know mainly as an
argument against religion.

Most Eastern beliefs, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are older than the Abrahamics, but Zoroastrianism is a belief older than the Abrahamic god, and much of the stories from the Old Testament are taken from the stories of Zoroastrianism and the Mesopotamian religions, and the text the Enuma Elish. I can't say for any real certainty when people started believing in the Abrahamic god, but in the first two books of the Bible, god refers to himself in the plural; even the first commandment suggests that when God says, "Thou shall have no other gods before Me." Monotheism was introduced by Zoroaster, and incorporated into Judaism later on after the Abrahamic god, so there was an overlap. But as long as there has been man, there has been religion, superstition, and the supernatural. Neandertal man is believed to have had religion, as he was buried with care, in the fetal position facing a certain direction with tools and food, and often with a spouse or other people, as if to say that he would need them in the afterlife. Cave paintings suggest animism, and archaeologists found a snake idol last summer that dates back 70,000 years. The archaeologists believe man thought the snake was immortal, because when man found the shed skin of a snake intact, he probably thought the snake was reborn. So in this endeavor you're making the logical mistake of the genesis fallacy, that the earliest religion is the correct one or that it would disprove any others. |

How do female followers of the How do female followers of the
Abrahamic (Islam, Judaism,
Christianity) religions
justify the blatant misogyny
in the holy books?
Do you religious females feel
as though you should hold an
inferior status in society in
comparison to men, and that
you should submit to the will
of your husband?

I'm a single, sexist feminist who knows the world is run by the Good Ol' Boy Club. Let it be. All men have done is screw up the world. All the women in high positions pander to the jackasses, and they probably wish they were hiding a set of balls in their Victoria's Secrets, anyhow. |
