Is it true that people made god just so people can hold on to that?

Question

like when they are in danger they pray??

Answer 1

Way to simple dear.

Religion evolved to fill societies need for authority, identity, law and purpose.

It persists because it creates a survival advantage in those who believe.

You aren't wrong, there's just a great big elephant attached to that tiny tail you are holding.

Answer 2

No, people did not make God; God made people so He could have a loving relationship with someone(s). The example you use is just the limitation and reaction of the human conciousness to react. When you think about it, we are all created with an inherent belief and "connection" with God. For example, I have a friend who claims to be atheist, and I've heard him say, "Oh, God, please let me get an A on this test."

Answer 3

If that truly were the case, you need to ask yourself why there were martyrs?

Why would someone lay down their lives for something when they know it's a lie?

Why did Peter allow himself to be crucified upside down?

Read Foxes Book of Martyrs. You really need to explain why people would lose their life if they know that what they're dying over is a lie. If they were truly convinced it is NOT a lie, then how did they get that way? Why would Peter allow himself to die like that, if he knew that Jesus really did NOT rise again from the grave the third day?

Answer 4

How can a people that cant even controle themselves create God. If we did create God then go and create one that will cater to all of your desires. When this fails believe in the one you are neglecting.

Answer 5

No, but it is true that God made us to serve Him.

Answer 6

Yes. It is true.

Answer 7

Just is the GOD's name .

Answer 8
