the word god was not invented, it evolved into one. humans had been looking at the stars ever since they started to think. natural things fascinated them into imagining all sorts of things. up until the Jews no one believed in god. there were many gods and these gods were the planets orbiting the sun. e.g. Apollo god of the sun, he gave us fire and we learned technology, Aphrodite the goddess of love is planet Venus she toughed us how to love and reproduce, Zeus the god of all gods was the planet Jupiter. all the religions that came from a civilized society such a Mesopotamians, Greeks even Romans were reasonable and you could argue because you could look at it. up until that retard thought this was all too much for his brain, so he decided that its was much simpler if all was created by one god and all the **** he came up with. we can say he wasn't very smart because of the way he was brought up. Christians thought it was the way to become more powerful so they decided to do it too. you see if you trace it back we can see why we would think such things.
its a shame because all the great things which the Greeks and Mesopotamians came up with was lost just because people didn't understand it, not because it was wrong. no wonder why people hate Jews these days. they are retarded.

Words have meanings. Evil is the word live
spelled backward. It is anything that keeps us from living and enjoying Life. Even if it's just a negative way of thinking.
God is the opposite of dog. Though a dog can be mans' best friend. It's nature is to growl and snap at you.
And though the "lesser" gods were capricious in nature. A God is one who has Unconditional Love.

god is a way of saying divinity, but it is a relatively new word
GOD - Anglo-Saxon word for “good,”
but it is used as a pinicle of faith - what is the faith (goodness) that which is right,. holy or true..
Many people see it as this seperate entity or creature of some sort rather than an idem, of the knowing of right.
while god has many manifestation.. all of being is manifestation and identities likened are assigned to god, as the way, path or purpose.
we can have a golden calf as the 'path' to goodness. or we can have an invisible omnipotent and omnipresent force, it is all the idea - the physical reality or assigning purely physical concepts to god, is a limitation, god is everything. It is then the way that each item corresponds to one another to realize the state of reality, in your faith.
god is rightness - divine right. then read what those words mean..
---
p.s. this is not to reject the holy hindu cow which was an early revered 'focus' (idol) that had an identity as cows helped foster humanity historically speaking, giving milk and helping with their dung and other things.
It is the source, what makes our lives - what we worship or focus upon to enact our life - as good and the way it is meant to be.
T.V. may be an idol, or a specific TV show (like american idol etc..) when we talk of role models we speak of a type of idol or focus to create our faith, or focus in life. how to be, what do do, media.
when talking of spiritism or animism etc.. we take from nature or our ancestors of a way of knowing, how things are, what to do etc..
when you talk of monotheism you have a single identity but some faiths that are monotheistic were once polytheisitic historically speaking.. in these polytheistic focuses the role or role models as "gods" changed and were reorganized, in some manifestations of christianity for example some gods were retermed to angels etc.. or demons/devils etc.. all world religion inter relates in identity you just need to understand the message outside the box to really understand what is being said.

I believe that the idea of a god was created as an answer to the ultimate questions:
Why are we here?
How did it all start?
People differed in their beliefs in god and had different viewpoints on who or what god is, so they obviously went their seperate paths believing that they were right. People believing that they are right and cannot accept others' viewpoints on the subject are the base reason for the wars and atrocities carried out in his name.

QURAN is the only WORD OF GOD in ORIGINAL/PURE FORM. Reason is clear in the verse below, that GOD promised to protect QURAN.
[15:9] Absolutely, we have revealed the reminder, and, absolutely, we will preserve it.
http://www.submission.org/suras/sura15.htm
The Quranic challenge (since past 1400 years, present and future)
Here are the verses that mention the challenge;
Say, "If all the humans and all the jinns banded together
in order to produce a Quran like this, they could never
produce anything like it, no matter how much assistance
they lent one another." [17:88]
If you have any doubt regarding what we revealed to our
servant, then produce one sura like these, and call upon
your own witnesses against GOD, if you are truthful.
[2:23]
This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than
GOD. It confirms all previous messages, and provides a
fully detailed scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from
the Lord of the universe. If they say, "He fabricated it,"
say, "Then produce one sura like these, and invite
whomever you wish, other than GOD, if you are truthful."
[10:37-38]
If they say, "He fabricated (the Quran)," tell them, "Then
produce ten suras like these, fabricated, and invite
whomever you can, other than GOD, if you are truthful."
[11:13]
Do they say, "He made it all up?" Instead, they are
simply disbelievers. Let them produce a Hadith like this,
if they are truthful. [52:33-34]
