Religious Beliefs
Before learning about the different types of beliefs and the gods that certain people worshiped, there was a time where the only religion there was, was Christianity and the belief that there is only one god. But even that had grown over time. From Christianity came, Lutheran, Anglican, Catholic, Evangelical, Buddhism and many more. How do you get so many new faiths and beliefs all starting from one? How could you possibly change it so much that you end up with dozens of similar but completely different faiths? Spreading that worldwide, so many people believe in so many different things. Like why do the Greeks and Romans believe that there is more than one god? Why is it that they all believe in the same gods and what they stand for but have different names? What is the point of doing that? How many times can you change a religion to a point where it still has the same belief in one god, one son, one only holy spirit but have completely different belief systems? Like how come Catholics do not read or follow the bible but Christians base and live their lives all around the bible? They somewhat have the same ideas, morals and beliefs but they are still two different things. Or why are the church services that they have for Catholics and Christians so different? Even with what they are called; Catholics call their sermons ‘mass’ and Christians called theirs ‘service’.
