...But I'm posting my old theory here, so there's a record of it, with a date when first yelped out from the airborne dust specks of Whoville. I want credit for a butt-kicking cool 'origin of the behavior' theory. I want the Prize, damn it, the fucking Prize. It always goes to some jerk. Okay, Bob Dylan deserved one. Obama didn't. Paul Krugman didn't. Never mind. ADHD. I jump topics. My theory i-i-i-i-is:
Some people, not all, a relative few, have a hereditary tendency to pontificate. I'm like that my self. Once I get on a subject, I have to talk about it. I want to expand on the subject, and relate the subject to other subjects, for comparative analysis. It could be any subject at all, once I'm on the SOB, I am compelled to talk about, and to convince people of it's validity. For now, let's talk about how an organic tendency effects the practice of religion.
The biggest chunk of my theory is that the practice of religion has been formed by individuals born with the gene for pontification. An individual with said genetic tendency might find an outlet for the tendency by preaching religion. I believe it is a hereditary trait that makes Southern Baptists boogie to gospel rock and roll, and makes Jews sit painfully bored listening to their Rabbi. Rabbis, some of them, have the gene. I'm not saying religion itself originates from the gene, it is the way it is practiced. Religion is directed by people holding the gene delivering long, passionate sermons. If it wasn't about religion, it would be science that someone won't shut up about, and who demands everyone capitulate. I'm suggesting that academic science is directed by people most inclined to argue the subject. The way shit is taught in college may be a product of a gene to pontificate about the subject.
There. Now fuck me pink. When you are not working for a college or a church, people have to dump their goofy cognition here, on a blog. The slums of the human intellect. I thought of this shit all by my fucking self. And don't give shit about the 'God gene,' I didn't think of it, and it isn't relevant here. The God gene renders people amenable to the existence of the supernatural. Big fucking deal. It's the fuckers who convince people of its validity. They have the gene I'm cherry picking here. I have the gene, too. I'ts why I get to be such a fucking bore.
