You take your chances with the demiurge that once needed blood sacrifice; "
No, i do not know where you got this belief, that's your part to find out."
Leviticus 17:11
It is forbidden to eat blood, because god has given it to us "... to make an atonement for your souls upon the altar,..."
Argue that
bore me with creation myths
There are only 2~3 pointing words in the beginning, which, if you do not want to believe - you will misinterpret all the rest of the Bible.

What are those 2-3 words at the beginning of the bible, to which you refer?
Evidence makes it a fact.

In mythology Adam & Eve ate the "forbidden fruit" and discovered they were nacked. To me this is a metaphor, that they indulged something, which made them aware they are capable of thinking. The nackedness is the seperation from the animal.
Terence McKenna had a few very wonderful thoughts on that topic.
After that shamans, or druids and priests "learned to communicate with god in everything", be it the wind, the sun, stars, clouds, animals,... everything was a "higher power" communicating.
And it was in a way, this way we learned when it was time to plant and when the Nile would bring devastation and so on.
My suggestion is that every "consciousness-system" has a collective memory.
I think one can make the assumption that we inherit a lot more information relevant for our survival, than just related to pain & fear.
The first stone buildings were made for the Gods, for hunting luck most likely, if we take Göbekli Tepe, the pyramids, still miracles to many were built for Pharaos who often considered themselves Gods or at least descendants of them.
Many advancements we enjoy today would never have been made, if it wouldn't have been for the one or the other god.
And what are we doing today? Money has replaced this higher-power as motor for our advancement and we lost touch with nature. With our own "spirit". We lost respect for life.
Isn't it maybe time for a spiritual revolution? One that brings us "back home", away from the religious thought we are supposed to submit the world to humans, but instead focuses on a way how we can improve the "system Earth" running smoother, let it thrive towards more "alive" and less exploited and surpressed?
I think if we could accept and respect Earth as living being whose collective consciousness includes ours as one of many that could really help.
What do you think?
