Otto,
I tried to edit my last post but too much time had elapsed. Since this video answers your question and puts your views in jeopardy, I'm sure you label it as NWO disinfo. You can't fight the truth my friend. I don't say my friend out of jest, I do really appreciate who you are as a person, but since you asked the question I felt compelled to offer an explanation. May your journey find understanding and reason. Remember your brain is equal in scope to the entire internet.

Watch the fuck out folks! Genius coming trough!!

Oh really? Did you live back then? Do you believe yourself to be better than someone living 100 hundred years ago? 1000? Yes we do have more technology than the people back then but we are still the same people as we were back then..we are just ...like your beloved Darwin would put it "monkeys with new toys".

joeburd wrote:God is a human concept and whether it was invented by leaders (for control) or the masses (for whatever reason it would have occurred to them). It's really not a big mystery. Early humans might have invented the concept of God because having faith in something greater has always proved to be comforting and, in some fashions, inspirational.

This thread asks the question of whether not just God but the whole idea of spirituality and that of another realm beyond the physical is a man-made concept or that we just simply realized it. I have my money that we just realized it based on the evidence I provided, that many cultures come to that "stage" at some point....

joeburd wrote:Why do children attach themselves to inanimate objects?

Comparing the psychological attachment of a child to the concept of spirituality? FAIL ARGUMENT!

joeburd wrote:Humans have evolved over a great span of time, perhaps on their own evolutionary path or helped along by beings from outside this planet, and now understand many of the concepts once attributed to God or gods.

Or maybe we were so eager to prove God that we wrongly assumed certain people to be "gods", there is also the fact that many people throughout history believed themselves to be gods because of their status, which further lead to the confusion.

Do millions of people not worship humans today? Its called a "concert"

If you look at the behavior of god in the old testament, and run that behavior through the Diagnostic Statistical Manual used by psychiatrists, the God of Abraham is a psychopath.

Religion says "You are not god. You must come to gods house regularly and worship and pay tribute."

Spirituality says: "I am God." There is a word that you throw about often, Otoel: namaste. I wonder if you actually know what it means. It means: the Divine in me recognizes and acknowledges the Divine in you. I don't need religion, because I am god.

Now, have you heard the old axiom: If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him. Do you know the meaning of this adage?

All that you've established is that you dont even know what the old testament was about. And that you prefer to run your mouth based on your underinformed status.
This is not uncommon.

Name a single christian church that uses the old testament for its foundation of teaching. Can you? No becuase it doesnt occur, as nearly as frequently as the dumb shitballs who run around claiming it does..

You are basing your judgement on an outdated modus.
IN other words, you dont really know what youre talkingabout...loudly.

You are screeching at the sky based on how people 4500 years ago interpreted their god, when the rest of the entire religion have moved past that.

So instead of barking out of your ass, as you usually do, demonstrate for me how thru only the words of jesus (since he is the only relevant character in the story now) how you come up with the psychopathic god figure. Show me this unbridled ego/control that was demonstrated int he OT. Show me the bloodlust. Justify your ignorance.

Show me how Love is a misguided principle, how forgiveness is a mechanism for control, and how serving mankind is a psychopathic tendency.

You cant because youre just another barking dog typing to see his own words in pixels..without even a speck of understanding which you brag about.

On this issue you are a nonentity.

Hey, hey, Chill on the venom, Bible Boy. I don't come to your house and slap the dicks out of your mouth!

Whoever asked that question has got a point. When one is born you are either taught that their is a Creator, or in school they have taught for a long time the Darwins theory
Evolution. Then again you have to remember who is behind the teachings of Schools, none other than the Rockafellers you have to ask why do they want to teach that from youth. However if you were never taught you know within that their is something more. Just speaking of different cultures. pretty interesting.

I was born and raise Catholic my whole life.
Catholic school my whole life.
When you do it for so long and can't get a straight or logical answer to questions about ridiculous claims, you come to realize they're full of shit.
Plus there are so many other religions out there.
Why would that be?
If any of it was true, there would be only one.

If you were feral, would you have a god is a better question, and I'm guessing that you would be spending too much time trying to out run the coyotes to think there was one.

Edit: I guess you might think the coyotes were your god...

Edit2: I guess my point is that even primitives have a social hierarchy, and there is no better way to enforce that but a divine will. Most of the time their god is nature anyway. That which could kill them the next time they leave the village, so you can't use that as proof.
