Nice cartoon from J&M today. Competition is something that's innate in all living things, it's a characteristic of how all life evolved on our planet as evidenced by the fact that all animals (including humans) must kill some other animal or plant to survive, there is no alternative for us. In addition to biological evolution, Humans have also created cultural evolution, this too involves competition, who's ideas are true, who's system is better, who's got the best and the biggest etc. Gods and prophets fall naturally into these schemes alongside all other man-made ideas, it's only natural.
