Let me just say this, I do not believe in a God or a Satan.

I have done a lot of studying on this topic, but I would be interested if someone could answer this question for me, because after all my years of research and (I do mean years).

I have come to one conclusion. We all make our own heaven and hell on earth and when we die we are dead. What I also found is organized religion has for centuries used fear to keep people from becoming all they can be in life.

They say we only use a certain percentage of our brain and I have reason to believe it is because we are so controlled by other people’s words and phrases. I can explain more later, but for now "who made God?"

I've always felt that man created God. Back at the dawn of time the world was a pretty scary place for someone without fangs or claws. Man needed to believe in something all knowing and greater than man. At first they believed in Earth Mother type spirits or gods, and as time went on many came to believe in multiple gods, each one specific to a certain element of life or death (similar to the saints the Catholics look to now). The concept of God as a male, and therefore father, figure is relatively new time wise. This completed the trend away from Matriarchal societies and put men firmly in charge. Considering the mess they've made of the world since that time, it wasn't such a good thing.

A poet once said, "Creation is God expressing
Himself.

Back when Jews were a tribe, they carried
god in a box on two poles. They called this
box an Ark or Covenant. When they fought
opposing tribes, this god was on their side.

The story goes that if any man touched the
Ark, he would die instantly. And, scriptures
claim this did happen on one occasion. The
box was about to fall. A Jew grabbed the
sliding Ark, and died on the spot.

One night, an enemy tribe stole the Ark to
have god on their side. They touched the
box. Poked the box. Opened the box.
Nothing happened. No one died.

The only power any superstition holds, is
our belief in it.

Today, people still seek to put God in a box.
Religions put God in a designated temple.
Atheists confine God to a box by declaring
there is no God.

Still, life continues to bloom like so many
roses amid the thorns. Invisible forces
govern complex genetics from the tiny flea
to the giant star. And God remains the
promise of tomorrow. A day we have never
seen before.

Somewhere in each of us, a silent voice
whispers: I am. I was. I will be.

Before I answer your question let me say this; you're right about organized religion using fear to keep the masses from using their minds about God. Kind of like the stupidity of Christendom saying that the same God who is a God of love is also going to subject, not just a single soul, but the overwhelming majority of his own creation, to suffer an unspeakable degree of pain and torture in some terribly perverted hellhole of eternal damnation. Who would worship such a God, let alone call him love?

Your question can be answer like this: If I were to write a book about space and planets and people, then I, Billy, would be the author of that book, correct? Yes, I would. People could then read this book and say "wow what a great book, its got planets, and people, and space, but wait a minute...........on what page to I find the author Billy?" The answer to that question is that Billy is the author of the book, he created the book, he himself exists in a realm, or state of existence other than the book, since he created the book he himself is not subject to the laws of that book; laws that say in order to exist you must be a person, or planet, or space. Likewise, God is the author of this universe, he created the universe, he himself is not subject to the laws of this universe; laws that dictate that in order to exist you must have been brought into existence.

The Bible tells us that there was a time before time existed, that God created time (called ages), and that God will end the ages. Forever, eternity, evermore, forever and ever, and any other word in the Bible that emplies time in the manner of endlessly existing is an unscriptural word, added by translators, and not found anywhere in the original greek manuscripts.

Have you studied the "big bang" theory? If you have, I don't see how you could possibly be an athiest. Do you think the universe just happened? What exists that hasn't been created, other than God himself? Your own argument proves you wrong. If you don't believe in God because you don't see how he always existed, it would likewise be equally foolish to hold that there is no God, but the universe always existed. Or it happened one day. What cause it to happen? If not God, then what cause what caused it to happen? It doesn't work without God.

As for the unscriptural teachings of Christendom that make God seem like an clueless and inept God of eternal hate and vengence, well thats a part of his plan too.

Bubba B,
The answer to your question does not lie in the research books you have read over the "years". Apparently you have not observed your surroundings.
No one made God. God is an omnipudent being that has been here and everywhere since before the beginning of time. There also is a Satan. He was an angel in heaven when he tried to overthrow God. God placed Satan(Lucifer) and his followers in their special place called "hell".
We do not make our own heaven or hell because God creator of all things has dominion over all.
In your research did you read a book called the "bible". That is where you will all answers to everything.

God is incorporeal.
No cause and effect there.
We are temporal. We have a beginning and an end.
God= immortal
Humans= mortal
When god came to earth, it was as a man (Jesus Christ) He experienced things like us Temporally. So part of god wore a temporal body, He aged and grew and was eventually killed. However when he died the part of him that left the body or (temple) as he put it. Returned to the rest of him(the father)
So although a part of him was temporal for a lifetime while here on earth, he is Immortal with the father.
He said "I am the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end".
No one created god, he created time and he exists beyond it.
A result of not existing within the confines of time is freedom from cause and effect.
Resulting in the absents of the need for a creative force.
But all this is irrelevant. No one can know God with there minds. To know god we must look to the life of Jesus Christ. As he is god as a man. Know him and you know god.
It's the only way a human can get close to god.

From nothing, nothing comes.
Therefore, if nothing existed in the past, nothing would exist now.
Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence.
if the universe began to exist, then the universe has a cause of its existence.
The universe began to exist.
Therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence.
An actual infinity cannot exist.
An infinite regress of cause and effect would be an actual infinity.
Therefore, something must always have existed that is the cause of all other things.
One might take issue with the soundness of these premises, but the point here is that unless one wants to argue that something can come from nothing (and I realize that there are atheists who do so), something has always existed. The KCA then goes on to argue that the universe has not always existed and that, therefore, something else has always existed. That's why proponents of the KCA can maintain both that God is uncaused and that the universe has a cause, without special pleading.

God bless you. One of satan's best tricks is to have us believe he doesn't exist. We do make our our heaven and hell. But we have a choice and that is the wonderful thing of it all. We have the tools with our senses to change our lives. We change our auras we change our circumstances. We have to want more then what is here on this earthplane. Also religions are man made and that is why they don't work. We are always evolving spiritually and therefore we are not satisfied with what the religions offer today.
If you are serious about soul development let me know. No one can control you.
We do however live on and reincarnate too. Oh I could share alot with you. Let me know.

Well when a woman god and a male god really love each other......or the woman god was drunk or paid...then they get together and make a baby god. When the baby god grows up he is given a bag of marbles. These marbles contain little worlds for the god to control and manipulate and eventually you get the internet and someone needing to know the answer to something that he will never understand no matter how much studying or logical planning he has done. The end

I don't know who made god. but if you believe there is a god than it does't matter. I have been doing some research myself and things I read, things that happen to me make me believe that we are all godly like. We just don't know how to use our mind because like you said we are so controlled as soon as we come out the womb. Like you said we create our own Heaven and hell, but I also think that we create our own reality also.

we pretend to know so much, but actually we know so little. Nowadays we have more questions than answers. Who created time, who created energy, who created universe,...? All these things exist no matter what we believe. So, why is it so hard to except the dogma that God always existed? Maybe because we can't see it or prove it. It is so and your belief won't change it. But if you want live in the dark until others show you "benefits of the electricity", be my guest.
