6/18/2018 5:24:50 PM Posted: 1 year ago Did God create humankind or did modern man create God as a entity to pray to and worship for the unknown. If God created man, than did he create the dinosaurs, the planets and the evolution of earth, or did modern man create a God after evolution of the human brain. As the brain developed more, the thought process increased and man became more advanced in the thoughts process over and above basic survival and fire building and created a being to explain the creation of earth.

A god for this, & a god for that .... why not bc if there's no readily answer for things .... attribute it to a god. As far as the biblical God goes ..... there doesn't seem to be any advantage to create that God. He didn't seem to come from any one event or something not understood. He just kinda showed up one day with Abram. At that point I'm pretty sure there wasn't any memory of this God b4 then .... ,meaning the Adam/Eve/Noah timeline. |

It looks more like YHWH began as one god in a pantheon, became the patron god of the Hebrews and finally became 'the only true god'. YHWH didn't 'kinda turn up' - the other gods were forgotten. One thing that shows up in the OT is that the Hebrews were prone to apostasy in relation to YHWH. In broad stroke the ups and downs Hebrews history in the OT is explained in terms of periods of faithfulness and apostasy. Many of their kings are described as 'bad' because they were not solidy YHWHist - the Bible was of course written by YHWHist priests! |

Maybe it's not enough for someone to not voluntarily believe in God and just leave the thought there? And maybe if someone voluntarily believes in God, that notion can't just be left alone there either? Is the point of asking the seemingly thousands of the anti religion and non God questions, (point one, maybe some of the questions are for the purpose of intellectual stimulation via some of the anti religious and some of the non God individuals?) (Point two: If some ask enough anti religious and non God questions, maybe the religious individuals will tire of those questions and let religion go from their lives just as maybe some of the anti religious and non God individuals maybe desire for them to do so?) Is this maybe one of the points behind a question such as this? "Did God create humankind or did modern man create God as a entity to pray to and worship for the unknown." |

Like most humans, the Israelites got too comfortable with living high, & most of the other gods that came along to sway them, were from other cultures that they encountered ..... especially the women they assimilated into their society. I must ask you were you came up with who wrote the bible, bc most were not priests. |

6/19/2018 12:08:29 AM Posted: 1 year ago SOLUTION: easy, ....like Zeus and Odin which surely had worshippers arguing and fighting
over them...humans placed both into Mythology...search...study..pray..open a temple.. whatever...NO ONE on EARTH is causing problems in the name of ZEUS or ODIN... Humans invented Jesus and Allah as they did with Zeus and Odin...time to put JESUS and ALLAH on the Mythology shelf...so like Zeus and Odin...people can do whatever they wish without any CONFLICT-WAR-MURDER-RAPE-PEDOPHILIA-BEATINGS-MUTILATIONS-TORTURE-MOLESTING-CONDEMNATION-ACID BURNINGS-CHOPPING HEADS OFF-+++ so many ATROCITIES against humanity in their names..well just to many to list..GET the POINT....Mythology = HAPPY ! and safe..that matters more than the GODS themselves.. Humans invent the GODS as scapegoats for POWER and CONTROL...assimilation is the PRIORITY..the CULT needs slaves to serve it while the Clowns in Glorified Halloween Gowns themselves act like a GOD and reap the benefits of their slaves efforts... step aside SATAN...! another spin for mind control with the DEMON card ! these world class con artist hypnotists have the GOD game down...everyone LOSES Then a new GOD is invented...BRILLIANT ! |

Of course pre-scientific man is going to invent gods - how could they do anything else? We don't any society that hasn't invented gods - presumably it reflects the way our minds work. |

So the idea that we no longer need a "Creator God" because science has eliminated the need for one is inaccurate. Treating science as if it were "the answer" is no different than treating religious mythology as if it were "the answer". Neither of these answer the question posed by the concept of existential origin. The first simply characterizes and personifies the question, while the second only reveals bits of the methodology. For anyone who still seeks an honest answer to the question of the origin and purpose of existence, neither religion nor science can justifiably fulfill that quest. Though both do provide us with avenues of investigation. |

Theoretically or 'technically' I am an agnostic because I've done philosophy 101 and I know that certainty about empirical facts is not possible. But in practice I consider the possibility that there is anything 'supernatural' going on is negligible - in the strict sense that one can 'neglect' or ignore it. I could get hit by a meteorite tomorrow, but I'm not taking any steps on that account; I think the possiblility that god exists is rather less than being hit by a meteorite, so I pay it even less attention. I've been gathering experiences and knowledge for 60 odd years, so I find it hard to identify any particular reason why I feel that way, Add what I know about science to what I know about human nature and history and out pops the conclusion that men make gods, not the other way around. But like a good skeptic I have to acknowledge there is a theoretical possibility god exists... I just doesn't bother me. |

6/19/2018 4:40:34 PM Posted: 1 year ago Obviously the PROBLEMS that humans experience are the result of HUMANS exploiting HUMANS

The Middle East Religions = JESUS and ALLAH are world class human ASSIMILATION organizations..= slave CULTS..total exploitation.. a CULT of expert mind and life MOLESTERS who seek power...power to decide how people EXIST and DIE...and serve Church/Mosque expansion... The Bible/Quran/Dogma/Jesus/Allah speak acts like a VIRUS...a VIRUS that invades the BRAIN and renders it into an UNCONSCIOUS SLAVE state...24/7 conditioning with Bible verse vomit repetition and Religious DOGMA requires total submission and obedience...= a SLAVE....... These people are literally turned into marketing slaves....programmed to invite as many other people they can convince to join...the CULT... The CULT is built on FEAR-INTIMIDATION-VIOLENCE...a s all CULTS are... NEVER is there a focus on HEALTH and WELLNESS...every aspect of the conditioning is to implant...YOU ARE A BORN SINNER and must SUFFER to get into heaven... YES....SUFFERING is GOOD...it means you MUST surrender yourself to the boy toy subGOD (jesus) the Church invented.. or Allah..... the clever Gown Clown humans invented...who they say is the only GOD that can save YOU.. WOW ! what a scam...FEAR RULES ! ...obey and suffer...this is the PURPOSE embeded in the SLAVES mind...sad,,very sad...very sick....

6/19/2018 7:40:37 PM Posted: 1 year ago EPICURUS....300 years before the Jesus boy clown shows up and upstages Zeus for the NEW GOD in town farce...
EPICURUS...read up moron Jesus/Allah clowns...and learn something useful and practical... No WAY ! the Christian/Muslim is HYPNOTIZED to avoid anything that does not conform to his/her conditioning... The Church/Mosque psychopath mind molesters know the damage to their FLOCK of FOOLS would be catastrophic when the HYPNOSIS is removed...and they are awake to the programming insanity that has enslaved them... NO HUMAN ever needs the Middle East GOD inventions to EXIST and thrive...EVER... Time to put JESUS and ALLAH to bed in MYTHOLOGY...R I P....no human will ever use them again to harm anyone or anything...... |

Commonly things that people keep as their gods are very natural. And so, scientific world view (evolution = mother earth) is just a modernization to old pagan beliefs. Bible God is rare exception to that long tradition of worshiping nature as god. And as the Bible tells, even Jews, who had God protecting them, easily turned to follow mindless things. So, I believe, if you would have developed god to you, it could have been sun, or tree, or some human. And that belief would be acceptable for most people, because it doesn"t demand righteousness and truthfulness. |
