Who is there to blame?

[Get me Rex Kramer!]

Who is there to blame on the concept of gods and religion?

For the people who actually pay attention to me, my quote that i came up with is "it isn't in our nature to think of a God, it is in our nature to seek answers and the concept of God is most influenced in this world." and i have been thinking of who to blame.

We could go back in time to our ancestors (or cave man idiots) who thought... "huh... I have no explanation for this shit, lets make something up that will make us ignorantly feel better!"

Or we could say, in an over generalization, that its humanity itself that is just stupid enough to come up with such a dishonest answer to something and actually believe your own lie.

And then there's Obama, where change only occurred down my stairs..... if you know what i mean. (yes that was a penis joke).

What do ya'll think?

Explanations only ever go as far as they need to (until matters 'are explained'). If cavemen had to explain their world why would it be unreasonable that they posit a man in the sky? It would be far more unreasonable for us to assume they should have had a dispassionate, modern scientific view of the universe (the what?).

I also don't agree that 'humanity is just stupid enough', again for the same reason. As Marx said, religion, like the state, is a measure of the amount of freedom humans have been able to engineer for themselves. At certain points this seems to be 'not enough', but the context for transformation is never a moral one but a material one. Saying people are very stupid is likely to put you on the moral end of this, but acknowledging the facts of religious expression is a step in the right direction.
