Relgions create a super ego.

So, in the golden time before anyone dreamed up a religion, the super-ego did not exist?

That religion must be pretty persuasive stuff. Is the super-ego inherently alien to human nature?

Actually there was no golden time before religion... the primitives simply didn't have the tools to make graven idols that would stand the test of time or the writing skills to blog about their beliefs.

Do you have supportive evidence of a super ego existing before religion?

In other words, there was a time when no religion existed, but then man 'dreamed' it up. Okay---please explain how man 'dreamed' up religion. More importantly, please explain where man got the 'idea' of religion when religion didn't exist, which means by extension, that man knew absoutely nothing about it.
