Children coming into their mental adulthood generally don’t get to voice their questions and doubts out loud, since heretics are punished. Especially after several years of authoritative education and preaching. The stories of a terror god, and our journeys from “Creation” are cultural memories of the wars and collapses of early city state civilisations, by those people who tried to remember and narrate what went wrong with the help of writing, itself an evolving technology of those early civilisations. Religion itself is the necessity to keep urban citizens in a cooperative and productive relationship to each other, to master and regulate their own personal feelings and actions, and be obedient to their rulers and priests. Their collective failures are punished by natural disasters, conflicts and collapses, which happened with surprisal regularity, as secular cycles of growth, entropy and discord. These afflict every human society, those that grow and out-consume their local carrying capacity, and can be interpreted as interventions of a malevolent god, rather than the results of human societies that unwittingly bring them on, in ignorance and innocence. We modern civilised beings are not much different.
