Epanding on that, to wroship God is not... i dont quite know what words to use here... maybe practical and mecessary will fulfil the qualities. Anyway, it's not practical or necessary. To worship God would be to worship everythig that gave you comfort, and everything that you had asked for help, from your little comfort blanket as a kid, to your mum and dad.
Side note: we seem to beieve that, in this world, things must be created to exist. Some 'created' humans. No. Humans just came to be, and then they had wants, and needed help, so they asked for it. In our very primitive form, we might just have sat and said "I want sunshine" and then, an hour or two later, there might have been sunshine. We couldn't explain this as being our primitive selves, so we conjoured up a being, that ws more powerful than us, that must have done it: God.

Morons, just read the Sandman:
God came to excistence in the realm of Dream of the Endless, as all gods do, and when people worshipped him enough, he got his own realm, and when the last person that beliefs in God dies, God dies as well.
So, in other words: Man, indeed, created God. My only question is, why did we create such an asshole? Why didn't we create a god that would buy me a falafel sandwich for dinner each day?

well lets see, god, there seems to have been a bunch of pointless debate on the subject. And Ive heard logical arguments for the fact that the god of the bible represents a philosophical argument, and was made into a "god" because people could identify with a more conceptualized guiding force. I stopped caring whether it exists or not or in which form, I find it a waste of time to pursue the question.

That's exactly how I feel really. I wish I could know the answer to the question but you have to fear desire because desire can lead you to bad places, such as the bad things that people who misinterpret religions cause.

Like I said, God is hope.

That's what i think too. God is more like...someone who humans can complain to. Or so what i think. Humans need that sense of security and they believe that if they worship someone then they will get the best of what they want. Who knows he maybe for real but i think we created him so we don't feel alone or abandoned. That's just what i think so....yeah.

When the second coming happens, it will be nuked by the US. Unless it takes the form of a godzilla-monster and terrorizes a populated area, in which case smaller, more accurate explosive munitions will be used.
In all seriousness though, the only reason god doesn't do stuff like miracles and floods nowadays is because if he turned up now, we'd all recognise the technology. He may have thought it was clever to scare us into worshipping him when we didn't know any better, but now we can nuke his spaceship. Big beardy pansey.

The Bible was actually editted to remove sexism. For example this is an original conversation between Adam and God in the garden of Eden.
Adam: God, I am lonley, I have the animals with me but I need someone like me to mate with and enjoy their company.
God:Are the porcupines giving you trouble again?
Adam: The quills really hurt my genitals, I think if I had some hair there it would help.
God:It will cost you one testicle.
Adam:I can live with 2.
God:DOne. Anything else?
Adam: Oh ya the mate thingy.
God:I will create you the perfect partner, but it will cost you.
Adam:How much?
God:1 more testicle.
Adam:Dam thats steep. I could go from 3 to 2 but 2 to 1. What can I get for a rib?

God is a person inside of a religion scaring the shit out of them. People need someone to carry them through life, someone to make their decisions. So they made up god.
The bible code is the scariest piece of shit i've ever seen.

Call me
But anyway, why do people have to insist, that god made man.
I personally would like to think that if there is a god, and god took the time to hand mould a being in his image, that he would do a much better job than us.
We are petty, ignorant, violent, aggressive, selfish creatures.
If we are made in gods image, then gods a jerk.

God is nothing more then an image designed to create religion, which in turn gives zealots an excuse to massacre people and fly planes into buildings. God is for the weak to fill their lives with hope. But there is no hope. God doesnt exist.
