what if people in the past are highly advanced beings where they live symbiotically with earth but they are addicted to entertainment and reality entertainment. Time travel was once legal in their world but now its not. They invented a device though that can time travel ideas and words or concepts so they made this device which is similar to a book. they have several books, one for each religion so for christianity its the bible, the quran for the muslims, and the baghavadgita for the hindu. they could re write the contents of each holy scripture manuscript using their book device technology and they watch as if its reality television, they watch the earth and the humans and how they react to the holy scripture and they could all see the events transpiring in the future as the humans from earth in the future obsess over the religions. the people from the past can alter the religious text and for awhile they input good scripture in all of the religious text, unite all beliefs and values, promote the resource based economy and end materialism, capitalism and money. They also wrote down to get rid and replace the nationalistic behavior that we all feel since we all want to feel like we belong in a tribe due to survival processes, the dreadlock is stronger than a single strand of hair or united we stand and divided we fall so its like its ingrained in our genes to be tribal or part of a team. this promotes and creates in equality or our team is better than yours type of situation. the grass is greener on our side so stay on your side of the lawn. i say fuck that and dissolve all borders. this makes sense since if you live in an arid desert wasteland where nothing lives and grows and or it has no water, by common sense you move to where the good life is at but no, you cant do that since you have to be smart and intelligent since you need a visa to get in which is impossible to get if you want to live in the promise land of opportunity where everyone succeeds. you need to be a doctor, proffessor, physicist, inventor, or have some other technical college skill or degree and it takes about 10 years to 20 years to qualify. and what if you live in a place where it snows alot and you want to live where its always beach day so you move to the coast, am i right? but heres another twist, in ancient text, hindu i believe, there is a cycle where there is a dark ages and a golden enlightened ages and i think the people who have this book like technology that can alter the holy books that are all created in the future, they control the cycle that the hindu speak of by altering text in the holy books and in the dark ages they alter the text and promote violence, fear, materialism and devine rule. and during the golden enlightened ages, they alter the text of the holy books and then implant and promote ideologies of love and unite all beliefs and values. live your life as if it was you living in another life or invent a technology that can be implanted in your eye like a contact lens and this program would alter your visual reality by replacing the faces of people you encounter to a face that you would not want to assault verbally or physically. this face swap can be a pic of your loved mom, dad, kids, or even yourself. this is why i think religion is a technology.
