2014 article in online science journal: "Atheists Might Not Exist"
#14
RE: 2014 article in online science journal: "Atheists Might Not Exist"
Quote: It’s not that a deity appears directly in tales. It is that the fundamental basis of stories appears to be the link between the moral decisions made by the protagonists and the same characters’ ultimate destiny. The payback is always appropriate to the choices made. An unnamed, unidentified mechanism ensures that this is so, and is a fundamental element of stories—perhaps the fundamental element of narratives.
Well, gee. I guess the author never heard of "just deserts"?
