Doesn't religion sometimes just seem a creation of human arrogance?

Question

The way it reads we are the central fixed point of the universe. Everything god has done in recorded history revolves around us.

I dont get that.

Thank you michael I will take your advice.

Answer 1

Religion is man-made.. For me, religion is the way we pray to God.. Maybe, religion is false but God still exist(maybe)...People believe in one religion because they fear God..Fear His wrath.. Fear if they are going to be placed in Hell.. Anyway,you have a point right there.. What you should do is study more about religion..!!!

Answer 2

You are half right---( human arrogance). Why half right, because mankind has always existed hoping that there was a god out there. Or more historically correct in that man started out believing in a multitude of gods. Human arrogance as you addressed it. But then, a real and true God stepped forward and said that the time of ignorance is over. From that point forward there was accountability.
Here is another half right for you."Everything god has done in recorded history revolves around us". Where you need to understand about the "central fixed point of the universe", is that God never made the universe an issue. It was always centered around events here on earth, about us verses God. Life and death here on earth, who cares about the rest of the universe. If it was about the universe, God would have given examples of how other life forms were more obedient. OK?
At least your question was valid, you're thinking.
And why around us one might ask as you did? Because we are the only intelligent being on the planet that is aware of their own existence and that there is more to this world as in a vast and great universe followed by that question "who did this".

Answer 3

Hello,

Not at all; I'd say human humbleness. If we are arrogant then we would take the position that we are potential Gods in the making ourselves, enjoy a hedonistic type existance and pay no heed to some old fool of a spirit in the cosmos.

Cheers,

Michael

certainly, i've got heard that atheism is. heavily, maximum theists will admit that guy does not, nor will EVER, understand each little thing that there is to nicely known. maximum atheists have confidence that ultimately, technology will parent all of it out. How's that for the peak of conceitedness? additionally, for the checklist, i think that there are possibly MANY planets interior the universe(s) helping existence, and probable extremely some them helping sensible existence. I, under no circumstances, have confidence that for the period of this *countless* universe, we've been the only "sensible" existence that God observed fit to create.

Answer 5

That is not arrogance, but the fact we always appear to be in the center. If you are on the ocean, you see the same distance all around you. With our technology, you can see so far into microscoptic and so far out in telescopic (macroscopic)...again we are in the center.

Regardless of religion...people would think they are in the center.

Arrogance is a terrific term for the theme of the bible. Man made god in his own image. I'm so pleased you notice this too. All of the stories relate to mens dominance of the earth and other people. The writers of the bible didnot make god a wise, just, benevolent ruler but a barbarian such as themselves, with plenty of ignorance to go far and wide.
