To which I responded:"4.)"It is a well documented and written history. ": What is? What I said about the origins of Judaism and Christianity is perfectly accurate..." I still await your clarification...

I think I have answered your questions adequately. Each religion has a well documented history. Adherents do believe what they want. In Ireland, I was astounded (in 1983) to still hear fire & brimstone sermons. That was passe in the US ages ago. Adherents, obviously, believe what they want, so it is more likely that they know LESS about the history of their religion because they feel they only need to know what it's all about now. So, my view isn't presumptuous. I see the same thing at work. Most places I've worked, nobody knew the history of the organization. That's the reason the same mistakes were made over and over again. I study histories of the places I am employed so as to avoid those problems. Unfortunately, I am rare. However, at my current employ, everyone spends 2 days studying the history of the company. It is a good thing, and it promotes clear thinking and vast loyalty at a very early stage of employment. Religions (and businesses) would do well to emulate.
