I totally agree with the comments you are making, and I definitely agree that all religions are highly distorted from their original purpose. I think that the stories we hear today are constantly adapted to fit every individuals wants, and we as humans constantly make sure that we shape stories around the ideas we hold. From this I think that individuals establish the finite details of their beliefs and ideologies before adapting stories to fit them. This is rather than taking on stories/information in their true form, and determining a given belief from the truth we are given. In this sense I don’t think any one belief system can ever be totally true, and as details are constantly distorted, as time goes on I think we can only get further and further from this truth.
Alongside this and as a result of it, I would also say that every individual follows their own unique religion. I would say this is because religious theories and ideologies are so diverse and varied, that we all have our personal ideas about how the world works and who we should follow. Even though we may associate with one specific faith, I think that each of us has our focuses in different areas, and I therefore think that many of the aspects are therefore continually interpreted differently. I would say this highlights one of the reasons why stories are altered and changed so much over the years, as individuals take out or focus on some aspects more than others, this can distort the truth, as not everything is being thought about fairly or equally. Overall, I think this highlights why religious tolerance should exist in order for our modern society to function efficiently, and I think that all individuals need to understand that as no two belief systems can be completely identical, they should be more accepting of others
