Are religions manmade and natural or supernaturally based?

Understandable. He is a bright guy for someone with a closed mind.

He reminds me of me before the unexpected fell into my mind that was never as closed as his. Uncertainty about everything is better than certainty.

The man whose head swings from side to side will always see more than the one who does not look and only fixates on what is known to him.

Yes indeed, and hope is good.

Faith without facts is for fools though.

Faith is saying, I do not want to seek the truth.

Remember that Jesus said to seek God. He never said seek me.

Yes. But not so open as to let garbage fall in.

I am more agnostic on things than atheist.

I think you will know the difference.

Many are recognizing that atheists are not as mentally healthy as others who have a more flexible outlook. I do not mean that atheist are mentally challenged or anything. Just that atheists are closed minded on some things and have forgotten or not looked into why religions dominate the landscape.

Brighter atheists, IMO of course, are starting or promoting atheist churches due to their knowing in a deeper way why religions exist. Mostly to appease our hivish or groupish natures. Humans are tribal. Most humans do not believe in any God but just want to be with peers.

Many atheists are loners and just don't get that part.

It too me pushing my apotheosis to learn that.

So are you creating threads to get affirming feedback? Doesn't look very open minded.

No.

I seek the pleasure of losing an argument or to give others that pleasure.

Of course man made , you got that all right Dingfod. Man has never made contact with that not even a being, and man never will. Using the world God, is passe, it is just a bitch with a dick.

[Awareness]

All religions are man made, man has never made contact with God , and man never will.

BUTT............................there is something, space is never ending , we do not exist all in a space all closed in with boundaries, because then you have the question what is outside our made up boundaries? Time, time even does not exist, our past does not exist and there is no future wating for us.

But , that something did write in our hearts, it wrote L O V E in our hearts.

How we feel with everything is a loan from that something, you think it's your's when you see someone in need, what you automatically feel? It's not !!

So for you, it is all about the fail?

Not all about that. A mind and agenda are more complex.

I also try to show love.

Proverbs 3:12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

That source would be as likely a primer on love as the movie "Mommy Dearest".

Overall, no argument.

It does have some plagiarized wisdom sayings though.

Mustn't throw out the baby with the bath water.

Yes, the bible is derivative of earlier social thought.

IMO. All religions are manmade and all God’s are projections of man’s desires for supremacy and to be the Alpha male of the human race. Survival of the fittest and our desire to be the fittest human is what drives us and keeps mankind progressing and evolving.






The choice people have is to believe that religions are ultimately products of a supernatural God who dictates policy to humans, who then pen them into holy books, and we have many Gods who are of this ilk, or to recognize that all these Gods are products of man’s imagination.



Do you think Gods are manmade or do you believe in a supernatural God?

Why do you think that way?

All religions are man made, but you are a walking religion.

Believing in a supernatural God is also a waste of time.

Know that there is a God which is greater than life,
not a being,
not a thing,
not having,
not doing,
not being but existing is a comfort because then space as in the room in your car and not a bunch of planets is endless , is infinite, no ending at all, that is a great comfort.

That time does not exist , and is just our poor excuse of counting moments. The past does not exist and the future als does not exist and is of course still to come. Only our moment, the here and now exists, the moment i typed "s" for example, or the moment when Bob's semen was scared shitless

There is no beginning and there is no end is good proof , that people are walking religions

That there is no beginning and there is no ending and no ending of space is a comforting thought for man to exist freely. To have no worries of being boxed up in bullshit, to even rebel freely as you please. But some just luv to be a product in scociety.
