Thanks for the welcome and the replies. It sure feels like my kind of place. I am like a hungry man who found the buffet table.
It is a bit of a nebulous thought but could it be that the god concept is a necessary product of an intellect at out stage of development? Put another way, is it a biological mechanism? It certainly seems to be omnipresent. Are there any cultures that do not have or never had a god concept?
Perhaps these questions belong in a different thread.
