Atheism
This would seem to be the default condition of man, An evolving. ever more complex relationship with the environment and increasing powers of speculation as tot he nature of otherwise opaque experiences. Hence God. The prototypical version of a phrase common in my childhood. "A big boy did it and ran away" A force beyond my capabilities and understanding broadly human in basic features. And if one why not many? And if they are aware of each other and disagree? Hence Olympus, Zeus and all that. But there is only one hence western civilisation and its discontents. Perennially neurotically obsessed by the fragility of its own invention. Hence items such as this: ["God in Exile: Modern Atheism](https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/SearchResults?tn=God+Exile:+Modern+Atheism)" Over a thousand pages of anguish seemingly written from a firm believers perspective. Available to read [here](https://archive.org/details/godinexilemodern0000fabr/page/n9/mode/2up)If you have the interest. Or Stamina.
And pointless.
