What's harder to believe? God fabricated man, or Man fabricated God?

Question

I think its easier to believe Man made up God in their imaginations.

Answer 1

Agreed.

God is nothing more than an ideal:
Omnipotence, for a strong foundation and the ability to do anything, which gives it authority
Omniscience, so that it is always right and knows everything, including you, better than you know yourself
Benevolence, so that it can do no wrong and always has your best interests at heart, even if it sends some people to eternal torment

God is just a bunch of things people would love to be but aren't: all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfect. When you read the Bible, it is clear how God also possesses very human thoughts and emotions as well as patterns and, oddly, fluctuations thereof.

It's too bad that people had to pretend an idea was reality so that they could worship it (read: be part of it).

Answer 2

You believe that man made up God because that is a lot easier for you to believe than to grasp the whole concept of a God much larger than this universe creating and knowing the needs of each individual person He created. Yes, it is a lot easier to believe your first answer, but does that make it true?

Answer 3

I understand the place you're coming from. My Dad had continuously maintained that The Bible is Gods be conscious and that in case you cant have self belief each and every be conscious it invalidates beleiving ANY of them. This doesnt artwork for me. Heres why: I allow you to comprehend that there is a cat below a tree. you already know me functionally, yet no count how specified of a depiction i attempt to grant, you wont envision a suitable photograph of the cat from my perspective. Language is a vulnerable device, and a few thing is often lost in translation. And we are of a similar custom and era. think of over the path of 1000's of years and dozens of cultures and languages. you will lose some subtlties of the tom cat description to assert the least. yet anybody alongside the way would understand the main important theory: there's a cat below a tree! in basic terms via fact the thought that "they are going to comprehend that we are Christians with the help of our Love." has been preserved. @ Thor, i can understand that it ought to no longer be the God of the Bible nessecarily, yet I incredibly have experianced the divine in my opinion. Earnestly hear and you will too.

Answer 4

God fabricated people is not believable. That people have fabricated Gods and Goddesses since day one is reasonably self-evident.

Answer 5

Yes, it is easier to believe that man fabricated "god" but all things aren't easy to believe if you really delve into it and question all aspects of our "being"

Answer 6

This is quite normal thing for intelligent beings to create a god to solve the problems they can`t understand. But yet, so many things are still not understood, and sometimes I feel that we are so far from knowing everything and be capable to explain everything, that we can`t dismiss that something extermely powerful is influencing or controlling our lifes.
Yet, Nature is controlling us too!

Answer 7

Rev. TomCat

Answer 8

Yes, pretty easy and also understandable that Man created god.

Answer 9

to me they are both hard to believe. i love god. i believe in him....but sometimes i wonder if its all a dream someone made up a long time ago. then you think about the bible....but how do we know that its real? easy we don't. we have to think of faith. but i'd lik a proven answer.

Answer 10

I agree with you; man made up god.
