A few last questions caused by your statement. 

Where did the Christians and Jews come from? 

What voices did they hear to cause Judaism and Christianity to be formed? 

Were the voices they heard any more powerful, enlightening,or fear setting as a visit from aliens from outer space? 

The voice Moses heard that caused him to write the commandments, what world did that come from?

Any answer is an assumption and cannot be factual. unless you accept the writings the Egyptians (Pagans) left as factual and correct too.  In that case many of the stories retold in the Bible and other works are simply retelling of stories depicted in the Egyptian writings. 

So maybe The Mountain does have the answers.  Maybe religion is just a device constructed by man to control the masses, to bend ones will to the other.  I don't believe it has to be that way.

Neither does it detract from the atrocities being carried out by the barbarians in Gaza.
