The oldest religion still in wide-spread practice to date may be, but it isn't the "oldest religion ever," which seems to be what spawned this thread.
On a side note, there was just a pretty graphic picture of Qusai on the television.

Yup not the oldest ever. But since we cannot go back in time to clarify which one was really the oldest so there is no point contemplating on that isnt it?

Naker... well, that brings to mind some interesting images.
No, certainly not, it's rather unlikely that the system I was speaking about even has an actual label, as such. I just remember the conversation before which spawned this thread: Tralalalala saying that Judaism was the oldest religion ever, and my rather esoteric comment to that. In my defense, I was physically ill.
It would be fun to speculate, though. I believe I've got some necromancy tools around here somewhere.

Judaism is the oldest religion which is still practiced (5700 years).

according to Islam,Judaism is Islam,any religion that was brought by a prophet of God/Allah is Islam(submission to God),in this case,Mose/Musa,that is why Islam is the oldest religion,it is the natural religion,well this is if you want to believe it,just giving my own opinion,and by the way,according to Islam again,initially there was only one religion to start with,but people have become misguided and corrupted their own religion,making it a man-made religion,God have sent prophets to each nation,and the last one is/was Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) the sealer of all prophets,he was sent to the whole mankind and JinsOriginally posted by tralalala@25 July 2003 - 08:27

It MAY be the oldest MAJOR religion still practised, there are many others older, Wicca and Druidism among them.
And as i said earlier, even they dont claim to be the oldest.
You've had examples of religions given that are 10 X as old as Judaism claims the world has existed, so it cant be the oldest.

Christians would say their religion is the oldest.
Their God created the heavens and the earth so it must be the oldest.
The same goes for any other religion that claims a creator.

Christianity is a split from Juadism...so until 2003 (or thereabouts) years ago, they WERE the same religion.
I always wondered myself however, how the (and I dont mean to upset anyone here..) Spiteful, Vengeful, Bastard portrayed in the 1st book (Old Testament) as God could possibly have been same being as the Loveable, fuddiduddy, Grandad portrayed in the Sequel (New Testament).

I think the point stands alone.
Tryibg to square that circle will "pickle your noodle" so I suggest leaving that one to the theologists.I always wondered myself however, how the (and I dont mean to upset anyone here..)

They say having children changes a person.
Wicca isn't an old religion. It's based on various pagan rites, but it's a thoroughly modern horse.
