God's Theory

[doppelganger]

But something that is symbolic doesn't neccisarily have to exist though. And like I said an "embodiment of their believers" is dependant on its followers, because according to this hypothesis, we create our gods.

We create all of our symbols. And things "exist" through their symbolic representation in an observer's thoughts.

So even if these beings exist, why call them gods?

Because the one calling the symbol "God" isn't aware of the operation of the symbol.

I'm not aware of what happens inside a blackhole. No one is. Does that mean the inside of a black hole is god?

So God is anything which we do not understand the operation of?

Well, you see, this is exactly the logic I use to come to the conclusion that gods are created from human imagination. And yes, things can "exist" in people's thoughts, I do not dispute this, but what I do dispute is the fact that a god exists outside of our thoughts.

To put it simply........... What if every religion in the world was right......... But wrong at the same time..... Picture this if you will..........!

Imagine a world, before human beings, in which every god believed actually existed. They all had a hand in the creation ofthe universe, and they all created the human race. Now imagine that being our creators they became concieted in themselves and wanted all the credit in the creation for themselves. from there a power stuggle insues and some gods break off to do thier own things and some stay together. As gods they gain thier power through the beliefs of the people. some having more power and control because of their influence on the human race. some having little to no followers start falling out of existance. This is merely a theory as of now and i will attempt to devolop it more as i go. i just wanted any input on what little i have so far.

Like the time of troubles... Forgotten Realms? I like Ed too.
