The King/God

I quote H.G. Wells in his analysis of history of mankind.
"Out of the Old Man tradition, out of the emotions that surround Women for men and Men for women, out of the desire to escape infection and uncleanness, out of the desire for power and success through magic, out of the sacrificial tradition of seedtime, and out of a number of like beliefs and mental experiments and misconceptions, a complex something was growing up in the lives of men which was beginning to bind them together mentally and emotionally in a common life and action. This something we may call RELIGION (Lat. religare, to bind). It was not a simple or logical something, it was a tangle of ideas about commanding things and spirits, about gods, about all sorts of ‘musts’ and ‘must-nots.’ Like all other human interests, religion has grown. It must be clear from what has gone before that primitive man - much less his ancestral apes and his ancestral Mesozoic mammals - could have had no idea of God or Religion; only very slowly did his brain and his powers of comprehension become capable of such general conceptions. Religion is something that has grown up with and through human association. God has been and is still being discovered by man."

The dichotomy and struggle between the temple and the palace has been a mark of the march of civilization. The king and the God were or were not reconciled as distinct or were or were not recognized as one and the same being. ... Until now. Now, President-elect Barack Obama triumphs as the King/God. Enough Americans (to elect him President) bought into his shadow in the cave as reality, believed in Obama, as the embodiment of their religion. Into Obama as their King/God. Where do we go from here?
