Easy one - man made god to control the simple-minded. Most religions are based in the same superstition going back to the pagans, then whichever has ultimate power in time uses the best bits and reconstructs them to suit.

God didn't tell anyone what to write - greed did. The need to control, to take power, to conquer is what drives god. And that is man, pure and simple.

man made god-ok, but why does this mean that god did not create man?
Your last two words should be the starting point--"ur thoughts".
What do you think of when you speak of 'God'? Are they the same as my thoughts? If i shared my thoughts, would they then be yours? blah blah blah........
If however you are just using plain language, then God is defined as 'the creator'. If there is a creation then there must be a creator? That is not the question. The question is: what is the creation and the creator. The answer to this question must be varied. If man's thought created 'God', then what then is the creator if God is just a creation? Your thoughts? What created thought? What is thought?

If thought created not only 'God', but everything and nothing then it makes sense that thought is the creator and therefore all creation.

I agree. I said all Bibles were imagined, dreamed, and written by humans as an attempt to explain the world. In the early days the tales were passed down as oral traditions and later written down after the tale had been shaped and molded into a form that is what the people wanted to hear.

All the ethics of the Bible comes from the social interactions of humans. The Bible demonstrates that humans can be both kind and cruel, two extremes.

The Bible is a primitive and early attempt to do magic, medicine, psychology, caring, military, government, education, literature, science, everything that humans do far better today in each field. But it was only a beginning, certainly not an end or final word.

A problem arises in this thought. How does a contingent being create a necessary being? The supposition that man has precedence to God, is mere conjecture. Because the question of man's origin presents a new problem. Most belief systems that promote naturalistic thinking run into the problem of infinite regress. This concept is untenable, because for anything to be present at this moment had to have a starting point, otherwise there is no beginning, and this is incomprehensible. This akin to a library having an infinite number of books and each book having an infinite number of pages. Where does it begin?

That is the dumbest question ever!!!! I also just read an answer on a different question where he said the church tells people what to do and all that.... that is just worng. There is eveidence of Christ!!!! Idiots, sorry I am just a little ticked off. Anyway, are you crazy, God made man... it's as simple as that. You know I feel bad for anyone that could even ask that Q. It's really sad, I know your future, what will happen to you after you die, it is scary. You say religious people are close minded well by saying religious people you are saying religious people in general, if that's not close minded... assuming all religious people are close minded, I am a very open minded person. I am also a very devout believer in Christ, I have been a Christian my life. My parents never dragged my to church either, I want to. Anyway, God created man period.

God is not a person in existence, neither he is confined to any shape or form; both hell and heaven are not places common to all, and neither death has a human face, or feet. In his life, every man, makes his own world, his own God, his own paradise,
or his very personal hell - the heavens above upon the earth below; and then each man eventually becomes the face of his own earthly end. But even if this all be true, the question can still be asked: Who on earth made the man?

Our life is so inconsistent and uncertain, our knowledge so limited, our presence so minuscule and our power so petty vis-a-vis this grand great vast universe that we needed an anchor to provide some stability.... and this necessity gave birth to the concept of an ever consistent and certain God who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. Belief in God has the power to give our lives a kind of stability and grounding that nothing else can provide. God exists as long as this necessity of our life remains.

Man created god the same way man created fairy tales, this particular story character has grown beyond control.... to the point of people believing in it. Lol, isn't it strange how some people still live in the dark ages.

God is made by Man, Bible is just a fiction book also made by Man. It seems to me that Man is not capable to understand that we are all alone in this universe. Men is too feeble to live without ficton god, just like sheeps cant live without their shepherd.

Man didn't 'make' God as He doesn't exist, but man did create Him in their minds to explain away things which ancient people couldn't understand. We now have science to do that for us - the idea of God is redundant.
