Gods should be the creators not the created, don't you think?. How much power would they have if they were brought into being by humans? That said, there's a Time Magazine article somewhere (I'm sorry I can't remember the issue) that mentioned spirituality and how somehow we were hard-wired to believe ... that we literally had "God on the Brain". Actually that might be the title of the cover article. We were created by God and need him. His son Jesus Christ said "happy are not conscious of their spiritual needs." Notice he didn't say those HAVING a spiritual need, but those conscious of the one they were hardwired with.
Now I couldn't find the Time Magazine article but I found something similar
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2003/godonbraintrans.shtml... This is a transcript of a BBC program. A couple of bits:
NARRATOR (BARBARA FLYNN): These people suffer from one of the strangest of all brain disorders. It makes them think they have been touched by god. But their unusual condition is giving scientists a unique insight into faith and the human mind. As a result researchers are now asking one of them most explosive questions of all - could it be that the physical makeup of our brain programmes us to believe in god?..... Later in the segment
NARRATOR: Rudi and Gwen's hallucinations may seem very odd, but there is a growing belief amongst researchers that their condition could help give answers to one of the deepest philosophical questions of all. Where does religious belief come from? Divine revelation is crucial to all the great faiths. Visions for mystics and seers have produced creeds that people have lived and died for. Believers are convinced that such revelations come from god; atheists that they are no more than the product of superstition and social conditioning. What neither side has ever thought is that religion might actually be as fundamentally a part of us as the desire to eat, sleep or have sex. But now that view may be changing, and temporal lobe epilepsy is turning out to be key.

I think I know where you are going with this and I'm not taking the bait. I can see how it would be necessary to create one. If we had no sense of God or religion, what would we use to decide how to be law-abiding citizens? How would we decide on moral codes and values? How would be able to tell wrong from right?

No, it would not be necessary to create one. We no longer seem, as human beings in general, to be awed by nature and natural occurrences. We seem to have answers (no matter how absurd) for nearly every question. Humans appear to think that we know everything and that there are no mysteries to be solved by attributing it to a god. That being said, I believe in God, despite all of humanities answers!

You can't create a real God. You can create an idol and you can create a myth, but you cannot actually create God. You may supplant a non-existence deity with your own deity in your own conscience, but it would not be tangible.

How would you be able to create a false god?

Our problem is we make everything, and everyone into a God.
God is however only one that is the creator. He created the heaven and the earth. And all that is in it, so we are nothing without God

True true true if there was no God then there would be no meaning in life b/c you have nothing to live up to nothing to strive for and and no one to please God says don't worry about what other people think of you on this earth b/c it's only temporary so if there was no God then we'd have to try to please everyone else.Also we would just die and not go to heaven

False!
By definition God must be outside of His creation therefor not effected by it.
if their was no God we would not be able to make one because we would be its god.
