God is the sum of all human ignorance. It is like when we don't have a concrete answer for why things are the way they are, we decide to put God as a placeholder for any X-factor that arises. When people say, "well, God knows what caused this". Which figuratively means, no one knows. Guess that explains the gist of it.

God is same as human before...
God does good things b4 so ppl respect and workship them n made a statue of them...
till now,we still workship them

so God=Human

correct me if imma wrong.

to me, there's no right or wrong. only rational and irrational.
God's existence itself is disputable. hence there's no reason for me to reason with your statement.

thats the chinese/indian gods maybe. christian/islam god has no statue.

and how do you account for gods that looked half human, half animal? eg. sun wukong, ganesh, hanuman, etc

God concept was created long long time ago by human to suppress human when they still not have the concept of science and logic. Then god concept got developed and shaped to more complicated as human society became more complicated. Then some culture bring up statues as a symbol of god or it's representative to make it easier to reference. Some got developed into more wide concept such as chinese deities and some remained only one or two like jesus christ statue or mother mary.

Regardless, all concept of god is still referring to something based on believe.

One good example of early concept of god can be seen from the movie 10,000 BC. Even though the movie is fiction, it's concept of human using god to suppress other "lower class" of human is evidential. Especially the part when eclipse happened. See how the high priest make use of the moment which also caught him by surprise to reinforce the concept of god.

at least chinese/indian gods are not sadist like the one from abrahamic religions

what does that have to do with this topic? if you want to attack any particular god/religion, bvnb ---> that way

My god says that I am holier than thou!

But I say god is just a concept for humans to follow.

Just to explain this sentence where most Christians are using. The bible says, if you love anything more than me(him), you're not worthy of me(him). In the book of Ecclesiastes says: it is the duty of man to love God with all his heart and with all his mind... & that is the first commandment. Because he first love you(us).

Im beginning to feel sick of all these threads regarding timeless questions that will NEVER have answers to

What is your answer to poke a girl??? what is your answer to the cure of cancer??? WHat is the answer of end of life?? If a question without an answer, mean it is not worth examine?? Only god would said what.

you resurrected an old thread just to say you are sick of it? kinda counter productive, no?

we find scientific solutions that benefit mankind, not further bemusing and creating more meaningless debates

since when did I resurrect an old thread that is still active?

del.sorry...
