Origin of Religions

And the whole Earth was of one religion and one belief. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from Africa, that they found a plain plain, and they dwelt there. And they said to one another, “Yo, let us fancy up the plain and make it fancy, lest we get bored and scatter over the whole Earth.” And the ideas came to the people, and the fancies, and they said, “Nothing will be restrained from us, which we have imagined to do.” Yet each fancied a different fancy upon the plain, and so it went down, that their interests scattered them over the whole Earth, and never have they ceased from fancying up.
