 God genes?
The rigid adherence to "God", worse, to a monogod, has been puzzling me no end. What has been and is causing this mental state? Certainly not the existence of above.
I have a suspicion. It is of course in the brain like everything else. But what?
I think it is a "misfiring" gene. By that I mean a genetic reaction to something in the environment (sudden over population?) possibly involving the same gene, capable of a variety of adaptations, one of them being a big daddy in space who is fundamentally insane.
Watching the preparations for the hurricanes I could just sense how close we were to the middle ages if the media hadn't bombarded them with reliable information. I'm sure a lot of them still prayed on their knees!
I am particularly bothered by this Judeo-Christian-Arabic monogod. This one is a killer. I have hardly any trouble with the Greek-Roman-Egyptian parthenons. I even find it helps to understand the world from a certain perspective. |
