Where would I find the history of god?
I don't mean the popular book by this title. She only speaks of more modern religion. I want to find out where the idea of a god, gods, deities originated. As in what first compelled man to say or think there was something larger than him.
All crazy fundy religious answers with be ignored. I don't want to know about your god. Just the history of mans fascination with such a being.

Since the dawn of civilization. As soon as Human has some free time to think and imagine beside finding food for their survival. As soon as Human starts questioning things that they does not fully understand of their surrounding. And soon as people's do not want to accept the fact that death is the end. As soon as someone develops the need to escape the miserable condition they were living in but don't know what to do. As soon as someone has the need to control the mass for their own gains.

Interesting. I will try to keep religion out, but it is religion of which you speak.
How about this? God created man. Man has an bond with God that he wishes to realize in full.
I'll look for the exact phrasing later and get back to you. Please hold off on picking Best Answer for a day or two. Thanks.
