Re: New Approach to Explain Religious Behavior

If you look at supernatural, in practical terms, it implies something that is higher than human and therefore placed on a pedestal. The child often does the same thing with respect to the older siblings or the parents. The net affect is the individual keeps the inner child alive. As a child of god, or whatever, you can relate to others with the openness that children possess. Children also have a higher natural learning potential. They have more imagination. They are less petty about small superficial differences including race and color. They are less perverse. Less snobby and less able to lie and con. They are closer to natural instincts. It appears to be a win-win situation.
