A Brief History of Tag Chapter 1: A Pre-history of Tag

Sigmund Frued believed that religion got it's start in a violent oedipal incident long before the dawn of true civilization. Humans were organized into tribal packs in this age, each commanded by a "father" who gained his position thru his prowess in hunting and fighting enemies. he did not neccesarrily need to be the actual father of the subserviant males. But since he naturally had his pick of the females of the tribe, he often was. Hatred and envy towards his power and access to the sexual favors of "mother" was universal, but oppressed by nearly every tribe.
But it was inevitible that one tribe would make the decision to surrender to its collective id. Frued theorizes that one tribe rebelled against the "father", killing and than ritualistically eating him. Over time, they came to feel profound guilt for what they had done. So they built the first totom pole to symbolize their victim, who was now a "heavenly father." The pole served as a warning to never give in to "evil nature" again. Evolution took over, and over time their came to be officials who presided over the totom rituals, what we would call priests. New father figures, giving themselves gradually more elaborate titles like chief and king, had to make at least a show of fealty to the "heavenly father."
Fraud's theory has created a storm of controversy. It has been called arrogant, perverse, blasphamous. But I can tell you for a fact that it is true; or rather, half true. The learned doctor only came up with half of the puzzle. There was, you see, another incident with another primitive tribe. This group of underlings was strangly unconcerned with the dominance of the "father". They were entirely too preoccupied with each other for that. They spent their days indifferent to their supposedly undeniable instincts, choosing instead to chase each other about the prehistoric grasslands. The game they played was not quite the tag that we know of today. But this is not important. Simply know that the aincents produced a society that was quite unconcerned with the priests and chieftens pseudo-evolutionary, homoerotic obssession with dominance and "victory". The ability of this society to see the real truth would eventually lead their descendents to power beyond the human imagination.....
