In a distant village, a long time ago, there lived six blind men. One day the villagers announced, “Hey, there is an elephant in the village today.”
They had never seen or felt an elephant before and so decided, “Even though we would not be able to see it, let us go and feel it anyway.” And thus they went down to the village to touch and feel the elephant to learn what animal this was and they described it as follows:
“Hey, the elephant is a pillar,” said the first man who touched his leg.
“Oh, no! it is like a rope,” argued the second after touching the tail.
“Oh, no! it is like a thick branch of a tree,” the third man spouted after touching the trunk.
“It is like a big hand fan” said the fourth man feeling the ear.
“It is like a huge wall,” sounded the fifth man who groped the belly .
“It is like a solid pipe,” Said the sixth man with the tuskin his hand.
They all fell into heated argument as to who was right in describing the big beast, all sticking to their own perception. A wise sage happened to hear the argument, stopped and asked them “What is the matter?” They said, “We cannot agree to what the elephant is like.”
The wise man then calmly said, “Each one of you is correct; and each one of you is wrong. Because each one of you had only touched a part of the elephant’s body. Thus you only have a partial view of the animal. If you put your partial views together, you will get an idea of what an elephant looks like.”

First I do not put a capital on god because I believe it does not want a capital because it wants to be equal if not lesser to let everything beside time grow to create more time haha if that makes sense.
...They all kinda boil down to, love and appreciate your life, be mindful, treat other humans decently and with respect and help them when you can, and don't waste your time on negative or unproductive things.

Each religion sees a different part of the world for many centuries & have not known technology until recently. Without planes or fones they do not understand there are 100,000 different beliefs yet, they think there are 50. They made irrational decisions for ancient modern percieved survival based on information available. They had forms of science like the spear which ultimately corresponded to my next para..
Science brings all religions together & splits them at the same time. Science divides & conquors. We know god is a possibility & that algorythm bring us together. It also splits peoples beliefs & people start reasons on how this or does not work. Religions fight with scientific weopons: ex; spears, catapults, planes, guns, etc. though they believe in what modern science deems unreasonable for religions law to work above sciences. It is a contradiction that economically boosts both yin-yang beliefs. The first words ever spoken were not religious were they? Which brings me to my next point.
Words were very very rare for 100,000 years & more, woman just were taught how to read not even a few hundred years ago. Descriptive art was not a womans job before, to translate arts & self-devolepment into language. Words were a form of primitive science. Only few men have had the luck to have that knowledge of language for a lot of thousands of years up until recently. We recognize the same demonstrations with nukes & jets. It has always been on the system of technological self-developed language arts. It has been that way since words started & will remain that way until we go back to where we started in a different way. We just created a land a hundred years ago where all can correspond & figure out there is more to human connection than previously known.
Religion only is different parts of god because people all live with god, whether god is a mystical aspect of life or scientifically explained, god in definition is us. People unintentionally disagree about different parts of god not that they have different gods, most can agree on that. We all agree if there is a god, it is everything, so debating about which part is better is natural technological evilution. Democracy, society, empires, landscape, territory, exploration, thoughts in general, religions aspect of science.
Words are the first scientific experiment ever. Words created science, science started war, war then created economics, economics than made hospitals. The four horseman. Religion is based off a lot of that is it not? It might not be which is why people question if science is realer than religion or opposite if they contradict each other, how each is percieved & why does any thing beside feeding brutallity have to happen from some human to human contact?
Religion is just people unintentionally scientifically trying to prove their part of god is better than the other part of god not god vs god, it is different parts of god fighting each other in religion alone. Either by words or swords, science is why they use technological tools like those to prove.
