Let me see if I have this straight:
1. god creates the Universe.
2. god creates heaven and hell.
3. god creates mankind.
4. god demands reverence, respect and unabashed worship from all of mankind.
5. god casts the souls of those who do not worhsip it into hell (that it has created just for this purpose) for all eternity.
---------
IN CONCLUSION:
Your "god" either (a) has serious self-esteem issues (b) suffers from an inferiority complex or (c) is just plain f*cked in the head.
Which one is it?

Look at the things that man has created throughout history. Each culture has discovered some things, and not others. For example, the ancient Aztec and Mayan Indians never discovered the wheel. But they did discover a concept that was unknown to most of the rest of the world, the number zero.
If something is a "man made" idea, then it will be present in some cultures and not in others. Some people will have thought it up, others would not.
Yet the idea of "god" and the practice of a religion is world wide. There is not a single culture that does not have that concept. There are difference in the understand and application of who "god" is, just as there are difference in how number systems were put together, or what symbols were used to represent the numbers. But every culture recognizes "god".
So it becomes difficult to argue that he is merely a "man made" concept. Rather, like mathematics, he is a real thing that man manages to discover in different degrees in different cultures. But just as they all realize 1+1=2, so they all realize that 'god" exist.

God "Created us in HIS Image". If you believe in Him this will be true, but there are others who created their own god as gods can be money, automobiles, sex, or anything else that people worship other than God. It all depends on a persons Morals ands Values and what they consider to be the most important thing in their life, God or material items.

Well, this is a very good question! I wonder sometimes, is that place (Earth) our own place? Or, someone else created it and "put" us there? If we want to believe in God, then we should remember the history of Bible. However , if we want to follow our belief ( the belief from our mind), then we should "search". The world is just a word, but a person is a whole history... A history from our mind....

God created us. He created mankind, and he gave every person a choice. God does not want anyone to suffer for eternity. However, He gave people a choice and some people choose not to follow God. So, God gives them their desire, a life without God. That is what hell is, eternity without God.
