The Origin of Religion and Its Impact on the Human Soul : Book Tree : 9781585091133 : 1585091138 : 06 Apr 2008 : Was religion created in the minds of men or was it given to us by the ancient gods, who demanded our worship? Who were the ancient gods and why did they come here? Historical evidence shows that we worked for them and tried to appease them at every turn. Then, at some point, they left. Cultures from the around the world tell their stories through mythology and they are still worshipped in our religions. Their power over us was so strong that it is still with us today. We have been conditioned in a religious way and Barranger shows how this conditioning is, in certain ways, stunting our spiritual growth. The author reveals exactly how this slave chip from the gods has programmed us, and how we might finally break free.
