[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Urg did a flip off a cliff at the same time thunder struck, everyone thought he was so cool and he became a God to the people. Urg worship continued for almost 50 years after his death but fizzled out when people getting sun burns blamed a jealous Sun.[/quote]

Thunder does not strike. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of the air surrounding the path of a lightning bolt. So lightning strikes, and the air around the strike expands and causes thunder.

What you are describing is celebrity worship. People idolize actors, athletes, etc, and place such athletically or physically talented and gifted people as better than “normal” people. Unfortunately, they don’t realize those people are just people, too.

For evidence of this, see the Entertainment forum on dcum; lots of posts about what celebrity has the “perfect life” or what famous person would you choose to change lives with?

I don’t know why people who lived in prehistory are seen as “stupid” by people like you. Have you ever seen some of the inventive and innovative ideas these people had to figure out to live in a world with no grocery stores, pre-made homes, medical care, or clothing they could buy off the rack?

Just everyday survival was extremely brutal and hard. They didn’t worship other people who “flipped off a cliff.” You don’t know the difference between thunder and lightning, and should not be giving advice on more complicated subjects.[/quote]
