God dissapears in all religions

[johnsweeting]

I have studied many religions and all of them follow the same timeline:
1. God appears for some people and a religion starts
2. He makes some miracles and holy scriptures are written about the God or person in question
3. After this the God is never seen or heard from again

I know that not all religions have a God figure but thousands of the different religions do.

I'm not just talking about the big religions here but all of them. There are according to studies around 10,000 religions and I haven't seen a single one where the so called God appears after the beginning of the religion. Here and there you can hear some people say that they have spoken to God or that he appeared to them but even other religions people think that is just craziness.
Why does God just disappear in the thousands of religions out there just after the religion is created. To me the answer is obvious because no gods exists but I wonder what religious people say.

I mean, why hasn't God created any miracles or things like he did in the beginning of the religion...You would think that he would appear or create a miracle in any of these 10,000 religions but the answer is of course a big......no.......
I think I know the answer from Christians but think about the other religions out there. God is nowhere to be found. Where is he?

By the way, thousands upon thousands of groups have predicted that Jesus would return on different specific dates. Guess what these thousands of groups have in common......They have all been wrong.
Thousands upon thousands of groups have predicted the end of the world on a specific date....Guess what these thousands of groups have in common......They have all been wrong.
The only answer I have heard about my question is something like this:

My God has not disappeared. He is here and guides us all all the time.

The above statement is not what I mean. I mean that all miracles that the God did only happened in the beginning of all religions and they are a little more than 10,000 according to the latest studies. In none of them has the God figure showed himself...none...Only in the beginning of the religion the God figure was shown. Why....

Study mysticism...and weep.

Not so in the Jewish Religion. There is word of many miracles for thousands of years. And for those who accept 'Jesus' as the messiah their religion is a continuation of the Jewish religion.

 

[Jainarayan]

God could be among us right now working miracles. Maybe I'm naive, but God could have taken birth to become the firefighter that saved a child's life. It doesn't always require thunder and lightning and booming celestial voices for God to manifest.

yes created by men through mythology

Israelites did not even become Israelites from displaced Canaanites until after 1200 BC

They didnt even take on a identity of jews for hundreds of years, at that time they were proto-Israelites

Most of what you know are influences from other religions that Israelites wrote.


And not a single miracle ahas ever been verified as credible that is written in the books, most have been proved fictional accounts of a created history to give the new culture a identity to pass on morals and wisdom

doesnt that fall under imagination though?

it is factual that men have created religions

top me this means its factual they created the deities within them.

Your answer is exactly what I mean. The "God" is not showing himself nor appearing in the same way he did in the beginning of the religion and I don't mean just your religion but all the 10,000 religions out there. To me the answer is pretty clear why....

 

[Jainarayan]

doesnt that fall under imagination though?

Does it? How can we know one way or another? It all comes down to one's own beliefs.

 

[Jainarayan]

To me the answer is pretty clear why....

Why is that?

 

[Sir Doom]

Maybe god realized that every time he poked his beak in we went bonkers. So he stopped.

Just sayin...

 

[johnsweeting]

Why is that?

No Gods exists....That's why...

Don't you think it is weird that in all 10,000 religions the God figure was only shown in the beginning of all those religions...Once again...10,000 religions...In none of them has the God figure shown himself as he did in the beginning of the religion...This has to ring a warning bell....But of course for religions people in all the 10,000 religions they have a way of ignoring this....

 

[Jainarayan]

No Gods exists....That's why...

Wellllll... that's certainly your right to believe. Others of us feel differently.

Again, maybe God is showing Himself and we're just too dense to see it. Jesus said something along those lines. So did Krishna. So did all the Old Testament prophets. Many Hindus believe that some of the saints were actually manifestations of God giving new direction. Two I can think of are Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Adi Shankaracharya, all within the past few centuries, but not everyone accepts them as God.

You don't get my point. In the beginning of the different religions there were really big miracles that you can read about in scripture. I don't mean that a God or holy figure just showing up but that actual big miracles happened. I've been studying some 30 Bolivian (South America) Gods and they created some pretty big miracles. Once again, these were big miracles(this is just an example). None of these about 30 gods that I have been reading about have not done anything since then....These miracles only happened when the religion started and nothing after that....nothing...nada... This is true for all 10,000 religion on this earth. Tell me one miracle (big one) that any of these 10,000 religions have done that can be compared to the miracles that happened in the beginning of any religion. All the miracles happened in the beginning and nothing after that. This is what I mean when I say that all Gods "just dissapear"....

 

[Jainarayan]

I get your point, but have you never heard of the game "Telephone"? Take that game and multiply it by 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 years and see the result.

 

[savagewind]

I have not heard one miracle on this thread that started one religion. The religion of Jehovah's Witnesses did not start with a miracle. It started by a few men and women who did some Bible Study.

 

[johnsweeting]

I get your point

Good

I'm ready to give you a good deal that this scenario will happen (see below). I'm ready to give you a 10,000,000 to 1 deal meaning if my statements below are not true I will give you 10 million dollars or all of the money I have which is far less. If I'm correct meaning nothing will happen for 1 billion years you give me 1 dollar.

What I want to bet with you is that this will happen (this is a Christ (Jesus) example but you can change the word Christ to any religion that has a God figure):

10 years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will.
50 years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will.
100 years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will".
1,000 years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will".
10,000 years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will".
100,000 years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will".
1 million years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will".
1 billion years from now - People will say "The scriptures say that that Christ will return and he will".

Well, we will both be dead but I think you get my point....So far I'm correct because no God figure has returned...

 

[Jainarayan]

...no God figure has returned...

You don't know that.

I have studied many religions and all of them follow the same timeline:
1. God appears for some people and a religion starts
2. He makes some miracles and holy scriptures are written about the God or person in question
3. After this the God is never seen or heard from again

They do not all follow this timeline. This three-step process fails to apply to all non-revealed religions, all non-monothesitic religions, and all religions that lack a principally transcendent god-concept. Hells, relatively few religions follow this pattern, really, except the ones that happen to dominate Western consciousness due to some flukes of history. Even the ones that do hypothetically fit this pattern do not necessarily follow it as much as you might think. Many followers of revealed, monotheistic, transcendent-god religions very much believe their god is active in the world and have personal anecdotes to support it.
