First I'd like to say, I think I almost die laughing every time Dr. Mitchell talks about his great idea to have a lingerie store called The Underworld. Just saying.
We talked in class about it being instinctual for the souls to want to go to the underworld. I think that we are born with a need to believe in something greater. Humans want to have hope. We want to believe there is something greater than our current situation. This need causes faith, religion, idols, and countless other things.
Could this be the reason that the Greeks and Romans [and everyone else for that matter] were always coming up with crazy things to believe? In all these stories we've read, there have been thoughts of higher powers and an afterlife.
Everyone ultimately believes in something because of this hunger, lots just have the misfortune of believing the wrong things.
I know this isn't very long, but I wanted to get your opinions on this. What do you think?
