when man begins to lose faith in magic, he invents myths about gods and claims that his formerly magical rituals are religious rituals intended to appease the gods.[36]
Mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
…primitive man believes his magical theories and rituals until he discovers some truth about them. Then he creates a myth or fairy tale to blame for his poor behavior. I think primitive man is always trying to figure things out, just as I have been, mostly because I was programmed with a worn out myth. There seems to be some fear about teaching children the truth, so we teach them a lie, then they lie and we punish them but we are really punishing ourselves and those who deceived us.
