“The core issue in monotheism is righteousness/wickedness.
Righteous/wicked qualifies a person acting or being Good/bad.
In an environment of scarcity, man’s vital strategy for collective survival hinges on being good to his clan and bad to rival clans to acquire or defend resources.
So the creation/elaboration/nurture of both good and bad can only be the consequence of a primary cause: scarcity.
Monotheism “Revealing” such a mental disadvantage in a Creator as to confuse consequences for causes is … revelatory.”

“It is in the dark that we most freely see the Light,” Della softly heralded, returning her attention to the brothers. “There's a comforting strength in the wisdom of that truth. That we will always see the Light in darkness. But never darkness in the Light.”
