we pray more out of fear, or out of greed. probably even all the religious institutions like the church,mosques and others have turned the prayer to god as a money making business or to control humans. hence they preach if u dont do this or do that u will go to hell. if u obey u go to heaven. In reality there is no hell or heaven, except here and now. better to enjoy every moment of this life without worrying about god. neither the pope nor the preacher has in reality met God.

i believe that thousands and thousands of years ago
people all over the world (even people who have had no contact with anybody outside their community in generations) have come to be convinced that there is a god (or gods) that control everything... such as the weather, the land, the environment, nature...
that they became convinced that there were gods, not necessarily out of fear (some probably did) but out of a geniune conclusion on their part or because of some supernatural occurrence...that is undeniable...
people in almost all civilizations do make sacrifices & offerings to their god (or gods) since who knows when and that is why we have "your concept" of prayer being turned into a money making business.... for almost everything we do today can be traced back to people who have lived thousands of years ago.
when you say that in REALITY there is no hell or heaven & you preach that... do not think for a moment that people thousands of years before you have not done the same thing (there is no orginality in almost anthing you can think of nowadays)... well you can also say that your REALITY is also man-made...
so do not worry...you can believe what you want to believe, you can enjoy this life without worrying about God... that is called freedom

Whether there's a God is a matter of faith (or proof). Believers require only faith as evidence, Non-believers require tangible artifacts.
Since faith is man made, and no tangible artifacts are available to prove God's existance, at this time God can only be regarded as a creation of man.
If God exists, and wants to change that, he can. There's a precadent. In the bible, when Thomas doubted that he was seeing Jesus, he asked to touch him (for tangible evidence). While Jesus gave him a hard time for lacking faith, he encouraged him touch him and his wounds! Even the biblical Jesus understood and supported man's need for physical evidence.

People choose there decisions everyday. Those whom choose religion,helps there growth at that time,for they chose it. I myself do not believe in going to a church or following religion , for I feel that God and I are together for as long as I wish. Religion is man's creation, for in the hands of man, were today's prints of the bibles written, even if it were originally written by a follower of god, What is brought down through the ages is re-written by man.
Yet God is a Feeling. And that feeling is Good. Nothing of God , feels Bad. When one feels good, total good, then they are feeling God, as God is feeling them. Happiness is Alive, for when we feel it, we feel energized, more aware and awake then ever before. We create the connection with being happy , therefore connecting us to God for that moment.
Yet when somthing bad happens, and one prays to god, but bad things continue to happen, and there is no seemingly change, one asks "if there is a God, why does he not answer my prayers?" and they assume that it is cause there either is no god, or that they are bad. But I say that it is because they are not pulling themself out of the bad situation . God does not exist where there is darkness, and darkness does not exist where god is.
Therefore when we pull ourselves out of the darkness, out of the bad times, then we see and find god again, for we feel good.
It is like the rich person whom decides to make a sandwiche. they say, "god , bring me a sandwiche so that i wont starve" yet they sit there and do nothing. Then as they go hungry, they question god's existance.
Yet all they have to do is walk to the fridge and pull out the food , and make the sandwiche themself. God has made it so that he can walk and the brain to figure out how to make a sandwiche, But wether that person CHOOSES to use them or not, to use God's gift or not , makes him wonder if there is a God or not.

no longer the mind, yet mankind itself is the final introduction of God. The universe will pass away, however the spirit, soul, and physique of guy will final for eternity. One is finite, the different countless. "i think prepared religions to be the top of conceitedness" - you're entitled on your opinion. i think actuality could be discerned from scripture and the writings of found out adult males over the an prolonged time.

Somewhat Agree. I think God and the Devil represent good and evil just add an o and take off the d. I think there is a struggle between good and evil that exists in the world, society and in each of us.

Not only was God created by human imagination, but also the soul, the idea that "Good" and "Evil" exist as independent concepts, and that human beings are the apex of creation.

What is man's mind a creation of?
Jesus told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.
He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'
"Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." '
"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'
"This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God."
Luke 12:16-21

God will judge every one living or dead. No human being can escape from God's rule. Heaven and Hell are very real. As soon as one dies, he/she face it immediately. Do not risk your eternal future. Read Bible and be wise. God loves you, and you are precious to Him. He wants us to repent and turn to Him for salvation.

Heaven and Hell is real whether we believe it or not, just because you dont believe doesnt mean its not real, when you die you have to face God whether you believe it or not...
