Hindu hell

[Aoi Magi]

I did say that we project our qualities on our beliefs; my question was "why is the produced creatures/humanoid/natural disaster" is controlled by a God?

Where did the idea of the "God" came from; and why did it survive and win across history to this day?

I get your point: just like we have "leaders/kings/presidents"; we assume nature is also running like that.
But why assume that the CEO is a God? why assume this model; even?

Why assume that life is like an organization with a CEO on top? isn't it more logical to say that the "employees like volcanoes" are alive?

The religious model was favored; and won.

If you read into other religions, especially the smaller tribal religions, you'd see that humans do believe trees, volcanoes, rocks, oceans and even animals e.t.c are themselves living breathing gods, not just agents of 'God'. Moreover, the hierarchical structure of a supreme being at the top arises because humans organise themselves in that structure, so it's quite normal to project that same structure on to nature.

Think of it like this, you are a small child, you cannot protect yourself, gather food or survive on your own, so you rely on your parents, from your childish perspective, your parents would be super-beings who can do almost anything. But your parents have their limitations too, in order to meet your expectations, they need to rely on their community for protection, food and survival. Similarly the community in turn relies on a figurehead/leader/king. But this leader too will have their limitations, they cannot control something like say a natural disaster, so they'd need to rely on someone who can, or at least claims to be able to control nature and things beyond human control at that point, so they rely on "wise old men", shamans, spiritual leaders, who in turn claim to rely on yet more higher power, and this chain continues till there is a supreme entity of some sort to bear the burden of all these expectations. However just because one or more entities in this chain are real, doesn't mean all are, and that's where you need a method to determine which links in this chain are real and which are imaginary.
