So now you're saying it's bad to have been developed?! You want it both ways.
They sense something... define what that something is.
Look, let us be clear about something. I think ALL religion is horseshit. From Osiris coming back from the dead to jesus pulling the same silly trick. None of it happened.
But if early adherents found a need to "improve" the story doesn't that indicate that THEY suspected some imperfection? After all, they "developed" it....not me.
I wouldn't have bothered.
