A god that punishes his own creation for conforming to a group and its moral code? Why do deities in religion have human characteristics and personalities, why do they have defective human emotions like greed, anger jealousy etc.? Do you believe all of these deities do exists and that the Universe/Chaos created them, or did we create them?

Because the religions were created by those seeking mass control.

OK, God controls the masses of ppl like he is controling you to ask this question. So God controls ppl. Do you really believe that? Then why do we stand alone to answer for our life before him when we die? Will he control our accountability of our lives? Why do you feel God is punishing you for conforming to a group or their moral code, ppl don't have their own moral code, only faith. Is faith a moral code? I don't understand your question, I think that you are trying to put some ppl in your box that somehow someway you think some ppl are saposta be a certain way. Are you always a certain way? Everybody is about basically the same. Don't group us. Why can't we study how to recieve healing by faith alone? How do you know how God Punishes? People may feel punished or exploited some way and we need help any way we can get it. I have no idea what your talking about, you need to be more specific. What is a dieties? I never heard of the word. Your question is too hard. If your a man you have been given free will to whatever you want. Some ppl are rotten and other ppl have the right to learn to forgive them so they don't kill them. Hanging onto offences makes it hard to operate in the the spirit God gave you. We all need to let it go.How do you feel controlled? I have been completely on my own alone 30 years, the only person I let control me is the one who signs my paycheck.

Zelda baby, your not giving the Creator any choices other than thumbs up they live, thumbs down they die. It's not that simple. This universe is not here for our pleasure or purposes. It's here because it solves a problem that the Creator was having, namely: an eternity of -270 Kelvin, no light, no life, no drama, no nothing. So it used itself to provide the necessary materials, and in the wink of an eye, our universe was built. But to keep things interesting, the first atom hydrogen is required for all life, and it has a radio signal, it radiates into the void, hence our contact with the Creator, hence contact of all living things with the Creator, and here it gets very weird, there is enough variation of a theme so that the Creator doesn't know what is to happen next. On Purpose. It doesn't want to know, sort of like opening a present before its time. In the process of setting out this universe our lives are made very, very unpredictable. It's going to stay that way. 'Best laid plans". get it.

Judgement and mass control are the weapons that states have always used against the people. It is no coincidence that all Gods have always exercised the same modus operandi.
Don't forget though that humans have a need for order and habit, so we are not exactly unwilling participants in this process.

Deities have human characteristics as humans have created it. As Formless & omnipresent god cannot be experienced by everyone. Fighting for Different names of god is like fighting for a mango known differently in different languages. Only one who has experienced taste of mango knows that it is the same mango. However stupids fight over its name without knowing its taste.

You forgot sex.
You have to mention that we are given urges to procreate and then made to feel guilty or inadequate if you follow your urges.
OR you feel frustrated and crazy if you follow what religion dictates.
None of that has anything to do with helping you through a crisis, it it there so that you can be easily manipulated.
If you can be tricked into denying one of your most basic urges, you can be manipulated into doing anything (Dying for a cause, marrying someone wrong for you, giving away all your money, etc.).

Religions were created to allow few men to control many.

all gods are patterned after those who create them. It's always interesting to me how people always seem to know just what god thinks
