The Endless Cycle.
Perhaps that is the answer.
There will always be gods. With the collapse of the old belief system, a new one rises from the ashes. The names may change, but they are the same old gods in new garb.
Humanity is a wayward child. It requires a set of rules to live by. Gods to emulate. Gods to fear. The "flavor" of the belief system is not as important as the existance of a belief system.
There will always be an "All Father/Mother", a "Trickster", a "Serpent" and a "Hero". Only the names have been changed.
I humbly await Ea's opinion.
