This theory connects to something that Horton does not deal with, though it seems central to the topic, more central than Horton's secondary theory of medical or technological benefits. I speak of the formulation of a moral code - a code specific to each social group, and one of the central components in determining each society's unique nature. A society or group of people bound themselves to the commandments of their deity - the primordial father. Without this code of conduct, it is impossible to sustain an organized society. Man's emotional tie to the primordial father figure, that rescues him developed and later on into the image of God or a deity that the man and the group all turn to for salvation. This appeal, made in time of distress, is an emotional appeal, and consequently so is the adherence to the command of the primordial father or deity or God. This is the earliest connection between morality and emotion, and it is the basis for man's generally emotional approach to moral principles even when he is not facing misfortune. Modern man loses this tie to emotion if he foregoes not only his God but also religious morality. It seems strange that religious morality should still govern man's life even in the modern age, even after God has been banished from his reign. Presumably, modern man, due to some healthy instincts he still possesses, is unwilling to allow religious-divine morality to desert him completely, leaving him all alone. In spite of all his rational, dry, a-emotional morality that modernity has introduced him to, modern man continues to cling to the emotional, ancient morality - that speaks to his heart. This theory - that I offer as a possible anti - thesis to Horton's, is also consistent with a fact, proven by anthropological studies, that man from his inception was a social being bound by an ancient established (social) code of conduct. Incontrovertible authority to command indisputable principles - could only come from an external source, and not from within the society itself. Naturally, the possibility arose that the source of these ethical principles - that comprise the code of conduct - would be supernatural - and that is how God was "discovered." In general, cause and effect are related. If my courteous behavior has favorable consequences, it is likely that my courteous behavior from its outset was intended in order to achieve those results. Similarly: if courteous conduct brings positive results to a particular person, it is likely that he will be motivated to behave courteously. Therefore, if cleaving to the father spirit resulted in social bonds and alliances, the implication is that the spirit shared by the group - the father spirit - was intended to enable them to bond as a society, or that, post factum, as a result of the blessed consequences of social bonds, they clung to the idea of a father spirit. Religious faith served both directly and indirectly as a uniting force through: a)direct divine intervention to the social group that sought a divine sign after creating one in its consciousness. b)indirect divine assistance through creating an emotional familial bond between the members of the group based on their common tie to the primordial father spirit. c)additional indirect divine intervention in the form of a divine command to adhere to a code of conduct that facilitates societal life. d)offering spiritual support for the members of the group, an address to turn to in times of distress, since the mere existence of the God-primordial father, even before he actually offered any tangible help, provided emotional succor.
