I’m reading Civilization Before Greece and Rome, by H. W. F. Saggs. Published in ā€˜89 so some interpretations are outdated, but a section on the emergence and rise of the god king in Mesopotamia for instance shows how the evangelical butt kissing of šŸŠšŸ’© and their efforts to sanctify him have been a part of human behavior for the past 5KY that we have written records of, and likely for a long while before that. Our constitution tries to buck the trend, but the odds for success look slim.
