I couldn't finish it. This is just plain bad.
This is probably the most incomplete video on world religion I've ever seen. Why do people pretend to be experts when they aren't even good students???
Oh what humans are evil? Got it
Just because a group of so called religious gurus got together and chose what 'they' wanted into the 'Bible' doesn't make it so. You have Jewish wrtiters split into 2 religions yet 300 ad something religious con men kept the religions as one?
As man? Were there not any women there ?!?
From caves to building of pyramids .. mainstream timeline are liars
Did God create humans or did humans create God ?
As man emerged from bunkers 😮
If God the creator had wanted us to have a religion He (IT) would have given it. It's through our HEARTS that we could connect to THE ALL. Listen to it..... The heart doesn't betray or lie.
Only peasants and tyrants believe in any of this. So, most people hahahaha
You're telling about the Old testament like it is history. It isn't. It's myth.
Moses or Abraham did not exist
Say NO to all religions
Archeology cannot confirm most if not all of biblical Jewish stories. Surrounding countries don't confirm them, countries that kept excellent records.
Very enlightening! The overall history of human religion(s) is a thorny topic- ...understatement! Very well presented, considering the depth of historical knowledge needed of such a variety of beliefs & human cultures. Thank you!
I'm surprised that a scholarly work such as this still perpetuates the myth of Hebrew enslavement in Egypt, when there is no extra-biblical evidence of it.
Judaism has millions fewer followers than Buddhism and Hinduism
