Abstract
The word "rebellion" is conceived as a challenge to the One God of the Bible in the spirit of existential rebellion of Lucifer; and at the same time it is identified with "Prometheism"; however, that in biblical ethics is a crime ? it could be seen as heroism in the pagan mind. However, there is some ambiguity in the question of the factors that influenced the formation of the biblical world view. Bible arose in the context of the pagan religions of the Ancient East and acted as protophilosophy, since the idea of One God was born by the intellectual impulse. But a fundamental problem is the difference between the pagan`s magizm and biblical monotheistic conception: in the biblical system "magical consciousness" is fundamentally impossible; because the Bible is a response to the challenges faced by human archaic era. It makes sense to return to the starting point ? in a world in which formed the ancient religious culture, among which stand out Bible.
This article explores the phenomenon of theurgy rebellion algorithm as an archaic ideological identity. This is the psychological setting of ancient Mesopotamians in active combat with nature, which seems to be possessed by evil spirits, and implementation of this installation. Attitude to the Egyptians also not dictated by the nature of piety: Egyptians sought to rule her own, and religious reform Akhenaten did was generated purely philosophical reflection. Canaan ritual murder of children imbued with the spirit of self-sacrifice in the name of human desire to "connect" fearsome deity donation. It is concluded that all these religions in their praxeological paradigm trying to somehow magically affect the world around us ? to change the fate resist hostile influence not only people, but often ? god. Deity, even as much stronger than man and definitely dominating in the hierarchy of beings imaginable in the universe was not for the archaic human centre of the world, as observed in the space of the Bible. Centre was the man with his wishes, imperfection, passions and fears. This makes talk about specific installation at anthropocentric picture of the world of primitive man and all civilizations that arose on its basis.
