The concept of monotheistic god as espoused through Judaism and eventually Christianity, started out as a necessary political move in order to establish, or rather differentiate, the Israelite culture. Surrounded by a myriad of gods, it became important to identify a one, true living god amongst the pantheon of the time. In the face of what expired since Augustine, the Enlightenment and the advent of atheism, coupled together with the failings of religion to set the humanity on a consistent, moral course, it is no wonder that our concepts and schema about the gods are adapting again. And in the face of so many prolific changes, always a threat to zealots, it comes as no surprise that resistance to such changes are often violent, immoral and unChristian. Man's neurology network is an incredibly powerful machine. As Man evolves, so does his spirituality, similar in manner to how he viewed and experienced the gods in antiquity.
