The question, “Is there one ‘Right’ Religion?” is among mankind’s oldest philosophical considerations. The Ancient Greek philosophers, themselves, devoted much time and thought inquiring into the: possibilities, probabilities, and potential realities surrounding this All Important Question. For they were of the common opinion that, “If a God, if any Gods, or if all Gods exist: then it is the first obligation of man to acknowledge his creator and/or creators!” As such,

Meta-Physics [as they called it] was the highest order of all the man-made sciences.  

The logical and philosophical constructs, which they fully employed – in their continual investigations into this profoundly significant endeavor – were some of the most clever and artful ever employed into the various subjects, or sciences, of their day… and yet, for all of their immense investigative efforts, the answers continually and definitively eluded them in either: one direction, or the other. Purely deductive reasoning had utterly failed its most important task.

Thus, began a cultural tradition of searching out and acquiring a greater and greater knowledge of All Man’s Gods, in the hope to find even one – which offered mankind a method of factual and logical verification… and, in the meantime, they gave each of these newly acquired Gods equal homage and potentially due respect – in their especially maintained Pantheon Of The Gods, known merely as “The Parthenon.”

In its heyday, The Parthenon contained both: A Sacred Temple [with the images of the various known Gods], and A Referential Library [with the various sacred writings and texts corresponding to each of these images]. Thus, the more spiritually minded philosopher could offer his religiously due respects and study the various writings all in one centrally located place. Interestingly, it is from this most ancient of practices, that our modern western libraries command such respect and reverence, today.

The conclusions of these Ancient Greek Philosophers upon their various efforts to discover The Truth behind all human religion were that: either God must reveal himself physically, or He must be proven through the efficacy of historically accurate and verifiable prophecy governing future events – from the time in which they were written. Moreover, such prophecies must be beyond all possibilities of: deductive reasoning, human speculation,
