If we are to assume that there is a god or gods, and that said god divinely inspired a literary work and set of beliefs for his/her/their people, wouldn’t the oldest religion that is still in existence today be the real religion? Some other scenarios are: said god’s religion died out, invalidating the idea of god; god created everything, let people come up with their own ideas of god, and then chose to present himself – again, pretty lame.

With that said, eliminating the creation stories of each religion, the oldest religion still practiced today is Hinduism. So shouldn’t we as intellectuals (at least I consider myself an intellectual) pursue Hinduism? Or perhaps take the stance of arguably the most intelligent individual to date, Albert Einstein: “I believe in Spinoza’s God, who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world, not in a God Who concerns Himself with the fate and the doings of mankind.”

All I know is that if I was God, I would do things a little differently. First, this “free will” business has to go. Second, I would make a super-caffeine coffee-like drink, oh yeah.
