It's actually a pretty simple formula.
You inquire about
All the folk & mythology
Of any given area.
Investigate the philosophy
Inherent or lacking of each.
As a whole
And by each parable.
Reduce the content
To a "digestible" format.
Substitute words or phrases
Which do not conform
To the rest of the tapestry.
And the first to sew
Did so to sow¹,
Not to make sows².
A condensed collection of the known world's beliefs!
That is,
They wanted things to grow.
To fruit rather than in snout style.
Silk, amber, jade, spice, salt,
Tea, tin, & royal.
Those routes we did the walk
And therein had good talks!
It's been completely butchered beyond recognition!
Or you can believe in some ignorant, creationist nonsense structured around different sects yet ultimately following the same core scriptures.
They think the deviations between them all are large or significant! Only to those who choose to follow that.
But I'm sure I'm just being absurd & unrealistical! ****
