Yes
You are absolutely right .......
Primitive man invented His own God to get answers for his questions.
Even today we are inventing our own God.....
Nobody on this earth who can claim that he knows God ..
Everything is a personal theory.....or...an experience.....
Honest Religious Books are agreeing with you....
BUT STILL THERE IS A GOD..............
Agam.......Agochar........sab te oonchaa................
Unexplorable......invisible....
............beyond all imaginations....
You are free to agree or to disagree.
My dear friend,
I am sure that when you agree.....there is peace........

No. God is the forces of nature. Primitive man was persuaded by the politicians of the time, that by making sacrifices or carrying out rituals God could be managed. At the same time these politicians would claim that God had given them the right to speak in his name thus ensuring that the peasants remained under control.
It is always wise to question the statements
of politicians, priests and scientists. Like all of us they lie.
Only believe what you can prove personally.
Treat the rest as open to question at least, at worst as a load of bovine ordure.

Actually, primitive peoples such as the Piraha of South America are good examples that early man did not invent God or religion. If left to our own devices, we would still be Pirahas now, with no explanation of reality other than possession by spirits.
Religion is the process of divine revelation to human kind and it is something that has been going on through all stages of our physical and societal evolution. God sends Messengers in the form of human beings who give us teachings that are suitable to our understanding at a particular time. The concept of God was first given to humankind through these Messengers.

In some ways, yes, but also to help define society, and cultural and societal standards as well. At one time, if someone walked in to a cave, and came out sick, then a primitive mind would have considered that to be the work of evil spirits. Now we know about radioactive minerals, good for us, it's growth and knowledge on our part. But in our modern times there are also spiritual and emotional needs that people turn to religion for, and not just an explanation of that which is currently unexplainable.....

There's a part of the brain that gets very active during religious experience for some people, so it could be hardwired to believe in religion. Evolutionary psychologists say that imagination and religious belief could have come around at the same time in our past. Religion being a social binding force as well as cementing group ethical behaviour.
Evidence of burials (sign of religious belief in live after death) about the same time art objects and paintings, is, I believe, one of the bases for the idea.

Man did not invent God. God was there in the beginning, he even created time! What excuse? The truth is that there is a God and He loves you. Even if you don't acknowledge him or love Him back, He's always there. I just pray that one day you'll accept that there is a God and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

As an atheist fundamentalist, I often convert people to atheism. I've found that pious people often end up arguing that we can't argue about God's existence because he is beyond all logic, he is everthing we cannot understand in the world. I'm serious by the way. So the answer's YES.

Yup, that about sums it up. Then he caught on to the idea of using that as a means to justify the correctness of his own laws and customs, killed a few enemies here and there with the help of that God, winning and keeping political power, then one thing just lead to another and the next thing you know, here we are today, with a long rich tradition of superstition, gobbledygook and total B.S. - Social evolution gone terribly wrong.

Yes. Many superstitious beliefs stem from trying to explain the unexplainable before the age of scientific thought-

Most certainly; as man's understanding of nature matured, his description of God changed accordingly.
