You either didn't read the op or you have an axe to grind, either way I don't know what to tell you. I don't know how long people have been on earth and as far as I know there are no written histories dating back more than 6000 years or so. If you have some relevant information that I am lacking please share. If not then thank you for your opinion on the matter.
I don't believe that anyone has all of this completely and factually figured out. Anyone that says they do is either a liar or a fool.

The more I dug , the deeper the hole got until I had to just throw out Christianity and the bible all together. That's not to say that the bible is entirely false, I believe parts of the OT are true or at least based in truth, but it is certainly not a good source to learn about God.

How do you reconcile your beliefs with the fact that the bible says YHVH inherited Israel? From whom did he inherit it?
Also the bible says that the Elohim plural (or gods if you will) created the heavens and the earth and everything in and on them. This Yahweh guy is no where to be found in the creation story.

The Bible DOES say we were created to be slaves. In fact, the main focus of Christianity is that NOT being his slave and obeying his every word is what made it necessary for Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. It's even written in The Bible that Jesus said "not my will, but THY will be done".
If homosexuality is satanic and the entire media and world is controlled by satanists, it sure is strange how gay people are still persecuted in many places around the world (even the MOST accepting places for gays such as Europe and USA - still has some discrimination against gays). Also, there are many different types of satanists (just like there are many different types of christians, buddhists, or any other religion). They don't all agree on the same things.
You say that "the righteous" ones will come soon to set everything "right". The people who follow other religions believe the same thing, except it's their belief about "righteousness" instead of yours. Trying to force YOUR way of life on everyone is what keeps the world in conflict and create wars. Not everyone comes from the same religion or culture as you, therefore not everyone believe in the same "religious codes" or family "structure" as you.

How could Zeus predate Zeus? What I am saying is that Zeus is Satan by a different name. I could reverse it if it helps and say that Satan is Zeus by a different name but the point remains the same. You are so focused on the name Satan that you are entirely missing the point.
The name is irrelevant if you think of it from the perspective that I have put forth. In fact that is the main idea of what I have put forth.
You don't have to agree with me but it should not be difficult to understand me. Zeus, Satan, Yahweh and other ancient gods (Ra and Enki) seem to have had very similar characteristics. That's the gist of it.
You said that people have been on earth for 1500,000 years, I think this is entirely possible but I would not state that factually because there is no way of knowing for sure or proving it.
You seem to believe that you have a superior grasp on the subject than myself or other posters yet all you give as evidence is your own statements.
I don't have any problem with differing opinions but let's not pretend that they are anything more than that.
I hope I have made myself clear enough for you.

Many religious traditions require the the converting or killing of nonbelievers and ritualistic blood sacrifice (sometimes human), that does not mean that those things are universal. To me that indicates that certain religions and traditions are just plain evil and wrong because they were set up by an evil being or false god if you prefer in order to enslave mankind as is the assertion of my op.
