The meaning of existence is an underlying philosophical question whose objective answer no doubt lies in the more fundamental premises that cause existence, as we perceive it, to be manifested.
The worthy consideration of Monotheism is an attempt by the ancients and moderns alike, driven by intuitive sensibilities, to explain the character of the most fundamental order—from which other orders originate.
I am however surprised, that someone who claims to think critically, could place so much authority in things that were written by unknown people, for various reasons (many with an eye toward political control), thousands of years ago.
In the media today, when some minority communicates one-sided and biased information to the public with the purpose of advancing their own agendas, values, and interests: we dub it propoganda. When the ancients do the very same thing, because of the almost mystical authority that the passage of time endows, we blindly believe one-sided information that was once propaganda, dubbing it instead ‘tradition’ and ‘religion’.
Thanks. Good post.
