That is exactly what I mean by sterile thinking: the lack of the product.
There can be no understanding of the indexing of religious concepts and their development when the first item of the index is missing.
How did it happen that man produced the idea of god?
>He wanted an invisible friend to rape his mother, woman and daughter. A killer like the one described in the OT!
>He was afraid of thunder and lightning and as he was so stupid he imagined Zeus shooting from the clouds and thus, because of his stupidity, offered Zeus roast beef in order to appease him!
>God had his brain programmed accordingly. The innate knowledge of God!!
Man did not produce the idea of god for the simple reason that the idea is so ridiculous that it would have required a ridiculously stupid man that cannot had ever existed.
Moreover, the story of the production of the idea can be found in the texts but philosophers prefer to look down into the unfathomable depths of their souls rather than look down into the texts.
