Loopy thoughts

So I have insomnia and I think alot about a bunch of things, one of the things that I want to talk about is religion. Now I ain't telling you what you should and shouldn't believe in and that doesn't mean you can hate on me or damn me or something, this just one of my spiraling thoughts. Moving on, religion was built on belief and in Christianity belief was instead faith. But every religion was built because someone needed answers to something they didn't understand or needed clarity. That is why we have so many different religions is because people believe in different gods or traditions that they were taught to believe because their ancestors needed answer to something. Greek mythology for example, we know that the Greek gods are myth made by Greek people because they needed answers to something to feel safe and understand what is happening around them, but if we were in their time and we said that Greek gods weren't real..well we'd likely piss them off and end up in a very bad situation, because they believe what they believe in for clarity because it makes sense to them. Now I believe in many things and understand many things, I do and do not think that were is a god somewhere out there but one that we can not possibly name, one that is beyond our comprehension, if there is a god like that then it might as well be time itself. Again believe what you want to believe in, these are just my thoughts. Have a nice day.
