Now, I practice religion for about 6 days a year. I'm not truly devoted because I don't understand and I hate that.
What if God is made up? Here's my theory. No one can truly comprehend not existing. Like, imagine yourself not existing, it's quite a hard thing to do. You're imagining the world without you but you're seeing it through your perspective 'cause no one sees things in the same way. But you don't exist therefore you can't view the world in your own perspective. It's impossible to comprehend not existing.
That might be why people made up God. For an assurance that you won't just blink out and no one will care after you die.

mmm void of god...
Well the way I see it is that people are in need of such a scapegoat because they can't take shit knowing that shit happens... I believe that they need to create a deity to either blame things on or comfort them in their times of need. But since the majority of people in North America are believers its kind of hard to express this without getting bitched out.. I guess thats what you get when a corrupt group of people brainwashes a bunch of people to be closed minded and do their bidding.. which is usually evil.... (mind you that's the bad evil, not the good one like me).

I know for sure what I don't believe in. I don't see God as being this large head floating in heaven in a midst of clouds and angels. Nor as another being that decided to create humans and all life forms. People use God as a tool and an excuse which I think is very wrong. If you have a problem, blame it on yourself - you dumb fuck. I believe we as people are spirits more than anything. Our physical bodies are just "containers" (if you will) to hold the energy that's inside of us. We all came from one place whether that's the big bang, aliens, or whatever else, and humans have chosen to call 'it' God. God to me, is essentially "home". Because of drugs I've had the opportunity to verify these thoughts and have found that we really don't die at all, our energy is transfered to something else. I don't feel the need to worship God because he is everywhere and in everything (if it is infact energy) and all i can really do is respect the environment that i live in, respect myself and live "the human experience" to the fullest.

I think that all religions are based on the fact that most people want to know why they are here, how they got here, and what happens when they die. God is just a choice that poeple believe. We belive in it because of the proofs of The Bible and the exsistance of Jesus. We believe God made, God gives, and God will take away. All gods do this though, they answer those 3 questions: Why(are we here), How(did we get here), and What(will happen when we die). So yep, God could easliy just be somethign that we stick in the hole to try to explain exsistance because we just have no idea how it all happened and God is a simple enough explaination for us.
