The Resurrection

[Angrboda]

I've long thought that gawd was just an emotion you christers feel. Thanks for confirming!

It's certainly true that many religious experiences, and religions, have an emotive origin. This, however, is what made the Abrahamic religions unique. They warn not to let your emotions, like awe, lead you into the worship of nature, but to look up to nature's God. And that has been a very profound, and very overlooked, shift in human history.

"Take heed, lest you lift your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun, the moon, and the stars, all the host of heaven, you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which the LORD your God has given to all the peoples under the whole heaven as a heritage." Deuteronomy 4:19.
