Origin of other Religions

In Genesis 6 the Scripture talks about how the sons of God had children with the daughters of men. This brought to me the thought of other religions. The first that comes to mind is Greek then Roman. I honestly do not believe any religion is "made up" and that these "gods" could have been talking about the angels that mated with humans. Any comments about this or the origin of other religions?

The answer to your question about the origin of false faiths can be found in Romans 1:18-32.

Just wanted to say welcome back FL. It's so good to see folks go away for a while, sometimes a long while, and still come back and be a part of this unique community.

You really don't think that any religions are made up? What about those people that followed David Koresh (clearly people worshiping a mere human) or wiccans or Scientologists or Raelians (http://www.rael.org/)? There are a lot of really strange religions out there. The belief in the church of the flying spaghetti monster was definitely made up. Personally, I think that all religions are made up.

Science is a religion too these days, is that made up?
But i do agree that religion is a man made institution and is not nessesary for a belief in God or are you saying an intelligent creator is made up also?
