I think that it is fair comment to say that when it comes to all bible scripture
not one person is an expert no matter which corner you are in.
It is very difficult and even the best of translators have agreed
that they may not have got it all completely correct.
What surprises me is.....if there is a God and he interacted with
humans all that time ago, why is it that he does not do so now?

Wrong question...........
You may only ask the question where does religion come from after you know what relgion is - and then be able know the difference between true relgion and false relgion.
There is no use wanting to know where religion comes from - if you do not know what true relgion is.
There is not a single person in this forum who knows what true religion is..............and they also cannot distinguish the difference between true religion and false religion.
I informed this forum weeks ago that there is only one worthy discussion to have in this forum ........and that is the discussion to determine what the difference is between true religion and false relgion.
The answer can only be found in the 18000 verse..... "Srimad Bhagavatham" authored by His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada.

Because I think I know what "true religion" is and I dont think any organized religion can be true.
When you say organized relgion..................you are going into a grey area because being organized does not make anything false or wrong.
However what you have probably experienced in your life is aberrations connected to organized relgion and therefore concluding that aberrations exist because of organization.
Are you wanting true relgion not to be organized because do you think if true relgion is organized it turns into false relgion?
The fact of the matter is this........
There is only one true relgion on the face of this earth - and that relgion is the eternal relgion described and taught in the Vedas.
All other religions are not eternal and have been fabricated by mundane man only recently in history.
The Vedas have not been fabricated recently in history by mundane man .......but have existed for eternity and have been inaugurated into civilization by the Lord Himself.
The Vedas consist of hundreds and thousands of spiritual texts written in Sanskrit the worlds first and most perfect language.
How is it that the worlds most perfect language ( Sanskrit) existed before the Pyramids?
And how is it the Vedas that comprise of millions of verses of true knowledge existed also before the Pyramids.
The answer is because the Vedas are eternal and are perfect and are the source of true relgion............(the one true organized relgion)

One or both are certainly wrong.
I have just given you the reasons why there is only one true religion.
If Christianity was also eternal (which it is not) and if Christianity also presented true knowledge (which it does not)................then Christianity would also be a contender to be concluded as true religion.
It has nothing to do with your comment about..... (my relgion versus your relgion) which is quite a silly comment and a comment you have put no thought into.
Please caissa 4 ..... ....be honest and think before you post.
