Re: you don't have to!

Since this is a modest little debate about the origin of God, can I put in my tuppenceworth. He was born from practicality, eg the sun, whose bounty prevented starvation. He was therefore appreciated, and loved, for what he was, as does a child a providing parent. To me, anything else - naming, praising, pacifying and personifying are later cultural add-ons that continue to this day.
