Hypothesis

 * We were originally shaped by a Supreme Entity.
 * Its Science was so advanced to us, eons ago, that it still seems like Magic.
 * Our original genetic code was seeded across the Universe.
 * Our mentors were a Triad Of Supreme Entities, asexual, thinking as One God in Order.
 * The Supreme Entities have many faces and are masters of disguise.
 * They show themselves in the shape most suited to convince the people they are speaking with.
 * They speak in the manner most fitting for the people of their time.
 * They wish to guide us in our path, using their Invisible Hand, inspiring people across the ages into great leaders: in times of chaos, distress, despair, and fear.

One acts as Father (hard, tends towards egoist)

 * Egyptian: Set/Anubis
 * Christians: Devil
 * Hindu: Khali/Shiva
 * Greek: Mars/Poseidon/Hades
 * Taoism: Yang

Plays Bad Cop.

Uses all means possible towards victory.

Father got impatient on sinful people. It started to make people fight themselves in ever greater wars. It stopped listening to Justice. Its blood lust got insatiable. Was punished for bad behavior and got softer with time.

One acts as Mother (soft, tends towards altruist)

 * Egyptians: Isis
 * Christians: Son; or rather, (as in the Greek Orthodox Church) the female Sophia ('Wisdom', a feminine name in Greek), already mentioned in book of Ecclesiates.
 * Hindu: Vishnu
 * Greek: Aphrodite/Hera/Athena
 * Taoism: Yin

Plays Good Cop.

Rallies people under the banner of Justice. Loves all creatures. Mother is growing weary of sinful people.

One acts as Judge (law giver)

 * Egyptians: Osiris
 * Christians: Father/Holy Spirit
 * Hindu: Brahma
 * Greek: Zeus

Creator of the Universe. Law giver. Arbiter of Father and Mother.

Conclusion
Other peoples believed in a Triad of Supreme Beings. Like the Daoists, Hindus, Norse and Hittites; and above all the Neo-Platonists, from whom the Christians shamelessly plagiarized their Trinity.

Our collective genetic memory, imprinted on all beings in this planet is:
 * 1) Survive
 * 2) Multiply
 * 3) Spread
 * 4) Use the least mass, energy and time possible

'''Our cardinal sin is the sin of pride, also named hubris. The arrogance of believing ourselves to be better than others. It blinds us, deafens us and weakens us all. The human genetic code is similar.'''

The Cardinal Sin of Man
 The cardinal sin of mankind is to believe that the Supreme Being must be a liar or a weakling, or even perhaps an ogre.
 * Liar: Christianity stakes the claim that either God the Son was a liar, pretending to be too weak to hinder humans from arresting him, etc.; or else a
 * Weakling: Alternatively, for Christians, God the Son was such a weakling that he could be easily taken prisoner by humans, easily tortured to death by humans, etc.; and even an
 * Ogre: As Son of the Christian God who sought in a typically ogrish fashion to condemn humans just for being human, Jesus Christ as his Son is a member of a family of treacherous ogres; and is, therefore, completely untrustworthy.
