Thier warm climate gave them the most time to lay around and think about these things.

They've withstood the test of time.

I find things that survive and grow more interesting and worthy of my time and attention than things that don't, yes.

Greek religion is more kino, but are you asking why I prefer the Semitic one?
I'll let @itisHoeMath speak for me

I am big on “spirituality,” whatever that word even means anymore, but I am not big on theology. I try not to make any religious statements. I prefer to stick to psychological and causal principles that actually manifest in physical reality in observable ways.
But I can say with 100% certainty that you are being judged on your willingness to do the right thing, even when it costs you personally.
To a large extent, reality is mathematical. What you do has results that are predictable along causal lines. Like if you lay in bed on the phone, your future will not grow, but if you get up and work, it probably will.
This is why the story of Christ on the cross is the most meaningful story of all time: God [the greatest possible being] lived as one of us [the greatest possible act of unity] and died [the greatest possible sacrifice] willingly [the greatest possible degree of choice] to forgive the mistakes of his people [the greatest possible gift].
This is a model for how you should behave. I am doing it as much as I can. I am moving as fast as I can from explaining girls and dating to explaining the psychological war we're currently losing, in the hopes that we don't lose it.
This is drawing the attention of a lot of hateful, sick, soulless bug-people who don't want me to do this. I don't care because anything less would be self-protective. “The world doesn't matter, my safety and my bank account matter.” That life is not for me, and you should leave it behind, too

Why are they more interesting to you than Hinduism or Buddhism?

I don't believe in a magic jew. That doesn't make me a leftist.

The truth

A lot of it being well documented. They kept track of everything.

I went to a protestant christian school and church every Sunday until I was 18, and I read the Bible, so I absorbed a lot of knowledge about biblical history and the Bible growing up. A lot of it is just burned into my memory and it's interesting for me because it's something I know about way more than your average person, so it's kinda a bit of a flex, although there are a lot of people that know way more than me too, but your average person doesn't know shit

Fallacy fallacy

>tribalism good
>absolutely not going off of base primal instincts, trust me
Catholics will unironically say it’s because god wrote the natural law into their hearts as base instincts

They're very rich in content and antiquity, while also being part of the most advanced societies.

Their parents, podcaster or general culture told them.

The truth doesn't depend on geography; your belief does.
