The beginning When I went to school, it was only on religion Christianity! Jesus with his cross and Danial fighting a giant ogre, none of the pupils, believed any of this yet it was entertaining stuff while we wait for the school term to end so we could jump on our bikes and play cowboy and Indians. But what though as a child sticks lately, I have been thinking of the origin of religion it must go back thousands of years long before Christianity is there a beginning, or is it all manβs fear of death? Perhaps not, once a word was spoken but mankind forgot, the memory persisted, and we have been looking for the truth ever since.
