There is no more dysfunctional parent figure in all of literature than the God of the bible. This often petty, more often angry and violent, and always jealous character, doesn’t want independent children but forever dependent ones forbidden to grow up and think for themselves.

thought of the day.128
"Until we have the courage to recognize cruelty for what it is - whether the victim is human or animal - we cannot expect things to be much better in this world. We cannot have peace among men whose hearts delight in killing any living creature. By every act that glorifies or even tolerates such moronic delight in killing, we set back the progress of humanity".

The Origin of Heaven and Hell
Dreams about the deceased (understood by ancient people as communicating with the dead, and therefore not so dead) gave rise to the general idea of an after-life and our innate desire for justice in an often unjust world inspired the specific ideas of a heaven and hell where justice would ultimately prevail.
