God in many ways: Bryce Evason

The mountain that was God Tahoma is a weird idea that is hard to wrap my head around. The idea seems primitive and weird to modern minds but really the idea is not that far off from other religious ideas. The thinkers from those times did the exact same thing as people do today that is to believe in something that is supposedly above the clouds and out of this world. Those ancient thinkers just picked something that was even more believable, a huge volcano. The power of a volcano is hard to argue with. People can see the heat and hear the roars that it lets out and have no possible way to disagree with the obvious power that it holds. In modern religions there is no proof that something higher has any power other than word of mouth. The ancient religious figures were primitive in there lifestyle and primitive in there belief system as well. Religion is a hard subject to discuss because it is important to people but it is sometimes hard to just believe in something that has no proof of being real.
