Let's try an off the beaten path approach to the concept of God. Shall we?

I'm a firm believer that there is not too many people that really go out of their way to genuinely help others for the simply just to help them. It's all give AND take. You've all heard of how they think people own pets because they want to feel like they are God or like they have children to take care of and to nurture. So maybe churches operate the same way. Maybe the "institution" of family also operates the same way. I should repeat the fact that I think that the concept of God is just the pavement that helps us make it to our prime. That helps us raise our children so that they could raise their own children. That helps us survive through all our faults, just like the sheep herder helps to guide the sheep. Think of those flocks of ducks., how they seem to form into a triangle, with the leader in the front that helps to lead them into a safe tommorrow. Damn, Fight Club hit it right in the nail when it said something like "In America our idea of God is shaped by our fathers. What if your father was never around?" This raises the question that maybe there aren't skilled enough leaders to teach and guide our children in the right way. But back to the God complex. Evolution has set it in place for a good reason. It's only the most anxious of us that question it. The concept of God is something that helps to get us into a ripe old age, cause arguing about it wont help to get you food or help you to get a girl for that matter. We arent permanent creatures. I see celebrities as sort of "Gods". The crowd channels their energies into one person, which is beneficial to both parties. We praise our kings(I remember seeing a show on National Geographic where these Africans were passionately bowing to their king. I think this is evolutions way of appropriating energy. The followers make the leaders ego go up, and the leader leads the group into fertile territory. All the while they are all competing for limited space and resources. Fucked huh? Thoughts?
