Of course it irks me - and many others.

It took about 1300 years for the Greeks to establish their religious framework - finally dying off around the 4th C.  So it takes time for these beliefs to form and then they're given a "structure."  Christians believe their religion is as old as Christ - or "evolving" after the death of Christ.  So that's about 1900 years or so.  And Islam is even "newer," about 600 years old.

So what you THINK is the word of God is only a set of beliefs created by men.

Hinduism is interesting b/c although there's a belief in one supreme being, this being is represented by "minor" gods who oversee specific areas.  So if you want money, you pray to one god - Lakshmi, I believe.  traveling?  pray to another

Geography defines culture and culture creates belief systems.  [/quote]
Why does it irk you if she has a set of beliefs created by men? Who died and made you in charge of what other people should believe? She doesn't need your approval to believe what she does. [/quote]
