Its like saying because I eat a cheesburger I own McDonalds.
We never started out by worshiping gods we started out by worshiping natural occuring things like fire and volcano's things at the time we didnt understand which if you follow history pretty much corralates to religion.
hmmm so when we bacame situated we started burying our dead, but when we were moving around we didnt.
hmmmm were not moving away from a rotting corpse and now we have stench, sickness, how would we get rid of something like that, hmm i dont know we could a burn it or b bury it hhmmmmm |
Well if youre logic were to hold fact, then we would never have stopped eating our dead.
And burying people WITH posessions, like flowers and jewelry doesnt signify SOME sort of affection? Some sort of belief? I dont see any other animals that bury thier dead do you?
Your analogy to Mcdonalds made ZERO sense, I am sorry to say. Buyring the dead with gifts is proof that they felt he needed those items, for something. Even the Egyptians entombed thier leaders with items, sometimes slaves because they felt they would be needed in an afterlife, stop pretending that its about germsn, we didnt know about germs until the 1800s.
