	Cubism's roots appear to start and end with god as an abstract concept of shapes and designs. It is somewhat unique for a god to be developed in this way. To attain oneness with The Cube is to become the cube itself. And to attain oneness with the cube is to lose all sense of the physical world, reverting to an abstract concept.

	===Commentary===		==Regarding the Receda Cube==
			Reverence for The Receda Cube is caused in some part by Cube-focused religions, some of which go back many thousands of years. These faiths focus on the works of mankind and co-operative efforts to build a better world; a fundamental tenet is that cubes are works of man, and never to be found in nature. The shape of a cube is representative of the struggle for civilisation to improve itself and provide for its people. The Receda Cube, then, with its undeniably unusual physical properties, holds a special significance for the religious faithful in Perplex City, as a manifestation of the aspirations of mankind.

	On Earth, our gods are derived either fFrom an image of man, or fFrom an image of man's demise. (for example, a man in the woods starts to worship the jaguar because it is the most powerful thing he sees, in the hopes of allying with it, and avoid being eaten). Even Islam, which uses calligraphic designs to represent Allah, percieves Allah to be vaguely describable in terms of man ("He lives in heaven", that sort of thing.)
