was it when these religions began to be tainted by western consumerism?
was it when there religions began to alter indigenous ideologies?
was it when indigineous people stopped following ways that had been specifically honed and developed for the specific needs of their communities and started adopting ideologies brought by outsiders that the outsiders claimed were better for them?
was it in the openness to new ideas and people that the indigineous people showed?
was it because they couldn't adopt these new cultures and then hold them true to the way they had been developed for another group and not them?
was it when these new introduced elements changed their roots so profoundly that they had to reintroduce their soil altogether?
how far back do we have to go to find something pure/real/true?
