erebus Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Who or what is god is one question, but not the one I want to suggest is worth looking into. Is he male or female or both, with animal and plant leanings is also in the realm of number of angels on a pin head, which is for pin brains. Where did our personalised Christian come from, I mean the one shared with , Islam gleaned from Judaism. Ever wondered where this monster came from that has infected so many with psychological delusions over so long a period? How was it invented, ever wondered? Did it have an origin? Why share the same god? Did it give it more cred? What sort of origin? Ever wondered if it was real or just a clever con trick, like banking practices are today?

highfly Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 God was invented by people who wanted to control others. This was WAY back, but nothing changes! I can sort of understand people being so gullible centuries ago, but in this day and Age when people are educated, I find it astounding that some still choose to believe all the rubbish that God and every religion is. If only people were pragmatic, and dealt with the tangible, the world would be a much better place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinz Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Ever wondered if it was real When younger maybe..probably no more than a split second though. Apparently it continues because faith is applied..however that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to review what you've written there, it doesn't actually make much sense. I'm not sure what you're saying. If English isn't your first language then please don't take offence to what I'm saying. Where did our personalised Christian come from, I mean the one shared with , Islam gleaned from Judaism. Ever wondered where this monster came from that has infected so many with psychological delusions over so long a period? The god you speak of is the God of the Abrahamic religions, as far as I can tell, he was just invented like all the other gods before and after him. How was it invented, ever wondered? No, it doesn't matter to me at all. Just another unnecessary god variation introduced into the world, unless proved otherwise. Did it have an origin? Most likely an adaptation of existing god concepts. It had a start date, like all faiths/gods, and will likely have an expiry date, like all the others. Why share the same god? Did it give it more cred?They don't, there's all kinds of gods, it's just that in our Western media/social bubble, it's what we've mostly been exposed to, ignorant of the less mainstream faiths in the world. What sort of origin? What? Ever wondered if it was real or just a clever con trick, like banking practices are today?I wouldn't call it clever, it's probably the oldest trick in the book. It doesn't take much to convince people either, as it is fairly self-perpetuating. Believers are mostly taught to believe and then pass on this belief to their children from an early age, teaching it as truth and fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God was a construct of the human mind, it came about out of fear of the unknown and because each mind is different each God is different, over time groups of humans came to some consensus about the nature of God and religion was born.

Furthermore, tribes of people largely existed in isolation before most Gods were created which is the reason why Gods are different. When different cultures started being aware of each other through trade, is when the problems started. Some of the newer religions like Islam were specifically created to counter the growth of other religions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
