In the world of the nomad, there is no carefully defined turf. That's why the nomads were the ones who developed the monotheistic religions of Judaism and Islam. lf you were sedentary you could develop all sorts of mythologies about this rock or that tree, and think that God was in that rock or that tree, alone. But the nomads always saw more of the world. They knew that God was not in that rock. He was everywhere. And the nomads, sitting around their campfires or walking from oasis to oasis, then conveyed that complex truth through simple stories. :
