The man god religion seeks to use fear; to control and profit from the mass. They threaten Humanity with the heaven or hell story. The truth is there is no rebirth; no do over ;no reincarnation. At death the body goes back to the Earth as dust; and the spirit and water evaporate into the atmosphere; and the etheric space called the universe; or heavens. In the end we all go; to both hell and heaven. There’s no special place for a chosen few; we are all equal ; and have no claim to being special. The fear thing was conceived as a way of creating a ruling body and a civilization living for a structured society and the profit and luxury created by such. The subjugation of the animal man; must be enforced in order to build a family; a tribe; and ultimately a society or nation.
That starts out with a moral code; and it’s enforced by laws. But evolution of the animal continues within that system ; and the seven deadly sins grow within that socially organized group; controlled by the man god religion. Corruption lies hidden; and it grows towards an ultimately inevitable takeover; and the collapse of society; as seen in the Greek and Roman times.
If you take a wooden box; fill it with dirt; and throw in a few worms. Eventually you have a box of worm shit, and a few dead worms.
The process went from the astrological system of religion; to the man worship of heroes; to the son god. Mythologies were created about the connections to the zoo of animals represented by the terrestrial connections arranged into stories, myths and then hero legends; about wars.
