Great story, Q-k. I'll disagree only with your assertion on the beginning of religion. As Thomas Jefferson noted:
Or, as Napoleon Bonaparte said even more succinctly: "Religion is what stops the poor from murdering the rich."
The power structure has always used religion to oppress the poor. It is not a creation of the weak.... it is a creation of the elite.
Quote:In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.
