do you think god made us in it's image, or we made it in our image?

Question

Did god create us, or did we create god?

Answer 1

Well, is there an all knowing pixie floating in the sky watching what we do to see if he should let us float with him, or did we just make him up to explain things we did not understand by saying "god did it"? The most likely explanation is that we made him. The whole god myth is too ridiculous to believe. There are many religions around the world and through history. The cavemen needed explanations for lightning, etc, and they did not have science of today so they made god to simplify it. It was a natural progression of the mind.Just as many isolated groups of early man made the same tools. We just mostly thought along the same lines. God filled the voids when we were to dumb to explain, but now with science we don't need fairy tails.

Answer 2

The God who created us made us in His image. Man is forever trying to make God into man's image, because it's more comfortable to think that whatever we think or want is right.

When a painter paints a picture who decides what the picture will look like? The painter. When a potter throws a pot, who decides the form the pot will take? The potter. The greater controls the latter. Man's been in rebellion against his Creator since Adam and Eve at the fruit and through that sin brought death into the world.

To believe in God is to believe that we are sinners in need of a Saviour. The sin in us fights that idea with all the power we have and so the pot tries to tell the potter how to make it and the picture tries to tell the painter how to make it, and we try to tell God what He is.

We are very silly, and it would be funny if the consequences weren't so serious.

Answer 3

Gdo created man and then gave man a companion to rule over the earth.

As we go through this life there are churches and priests, pastors, clergy as well as others who think God is a certain way. If you read in the Bible, God is not one certain way. We are all a part of God an extension - a perfect creation in His eyes. God has all good attributes that are stated in Galations Chapter 5.

God cannot be placed in a box because God is greater than any imaginary thought we may have of Him.

Answer 4

First of all, glyco, God is a spirit person. We are created in his image,which is man. We are different from other creation on earth because we are given the ability to think and reason with a sense of what's right and wrong. Mankind uses religion to fit their lifestyle, which maybe out of harmony with God's will. The answer is, God created us, man created religion.

Answer 5

Humans invent gods - We must have invented hundreds, perhaps thousands of them throughout history, and they're all a reflection of the hopes, fears, emotions and so on of the people who invent them. Thus they promise life after death for those people who wish that death were not the end... they display anger, sadism, love, jealousy, fallibility and other such human traits, just as you'd expect imaginary characters to do.

Gods also represent a way of avoiding difficult questions about the universe - i.e. if you can't figure out why living species exist, or volcanoes erupt, or the sun shines, just say "God did it" and you can imagine that you've found an answer (when in reality you've only raised other questions).

So yes, of course all gods are imaginary, and theists are simply trying to deny the obvious.

Answer 6

First we need to determine which God we are talking about here. Are you referring to the real God, the unconditionally loving God who we are all a part of? This is the one Jesus was talking about when he said the kingdom of God is within you. The one who is our dearest friend and closest companion.

Or are we talking about the angry little judgmental God that lives on some far off cloud called heaven. The one who seems to be more concerned with our errors than he is with our successes? You know the egocentric needy little God that always wants people to worship him. The one who is always unavailable because he is only a fantasy?

One created us, we created the other.

You need to specify if you want a real answer

Answer 7

My answer is from the Christian perspective. God made us in him image, but many Christians often try to re-make God in their image. Their image of God hates the same people they hate, loves the same people they love, and believes exactly the same thing they believe.

Good question...

Answer 8

God created us in His image, he gave us self awareness and a conscience. Unfortunatly when men started to turn from God, they started to create thier own versions of God in the forms of statues, idols, and the earth for example. There is only one God, everyone cannot have thier own god. Everyone is intitled to thier own oppinions but not thier own facts.

I belive in God and I know God through Jesus. THe God of the universe did create us, but some have created gods of thier own thinking that are not what the real God is.

Answer 9

Dude, God made us in His image. With taste, smell, emotions, and feelings... all like Him.

We didn't make God. Why would we do that? I can explain that God is here just by looking at you and seeing what an awesome person you are. :)

The proof that God is here is when we do good things. Jesus showed us the way; now it is our turn to follow Him.

Keep searching, and pray like you are talking to a friend.

God bless,

Answer 10

We were created from people like you and I who are a more older society and who master genetic engineering and as we are starting to do, created things in laboratories.
We will go onto other planets soon, and we will create life forms, from simple ones in the begining to reach more complex ones, like animals and humans ultimately.
This is a never ending and never begining cycle.
Matter will always exist and has always existed.
This makes so much sense, that we were created from intelligent people.
They were at the root of all religions, but as for Jesus, he couldn't explain galaxies, other planets and DNA. So he said "my father who"s in the sky".
We were so primitive, we couldn't understand, but now we can make sense of all this!
Love to all
