[K.Venugopal]

God is The First and The Last

He is without begining and without end

He is Eternal

Islam says that God is Allah and is separate from His creation. Hinduism says that God is life, the very essence of our being.

"For someone that is about to commit suicide, developing faith may save them by giving them hope and a reason to live."

In my view, developing faith IS suicide.

Every conciever of god

In my view, developing faith IS suicide.

Faith may sometimes turn out to be crutches - your healthy legs would suffer from entropy due to non-use.

"Faith may sometimes turn out to be crutches - your healthy legs would suffer from entropy due to non-use."

Exactly. Faith is crutches for a weak, feeble mind suffeingr from entropy due to non-use.

The same could just as easily be said about matter and energy, w/o the first cause problems.:sleep:

I think we created God(S). I've never heard any other living beings speak of the God(s). Eventhough most living beings can't speak.

Everyday I contemplate the existence of a Godhead. I truly believe that only time will tell.

 

[Erebus]

Dawkins points out that this explanation is lacking an explanation itself. God is a bad explanation because he does not explain that which is real. God in all his complexity may be able to explain the universe but we need something to explain him. So what do you think of Dawkin's one-liner?

I would say we have the universe to explain him (or her, or it) since I don't see God and the universe as being seperable, they're one and the same.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

The human imagination created god. Any other explanation is created by the human imagination as well.

How so?

After all, one of the reasons I chose my religion was to find my Self.

Exactly. Faith is crutches for a weak, feeble mind suffeingr from entropy due to non-use.

Got any evidence that ALL religious people are weak and feeble minded?

 

[Riverwolf]

So far, I haven't heard a reason why the human imagination created God...

There are very good reasons for holding that opinion. It is obvious that human beings have been inventing false gods since the beginning to recorded history. There are just too many folk tales and myths to dismiss that conclusion. Moreover, the universe that we find ourselves in today is vastly different from the ones in which those gods were thought to exist. Given this tendency for humans to invent gods, and given the lack of clear evidence for the ones currently in vogue, it is reasonable to conclude that any particular god (e.g. the Christian God) is also an invention of human imagination. As to why human beings invent gods, one can offer a great many explanations for that, as well.

And what is the reason for those explanations? (I am aware of the fact that there are several mythologies, that, BTW, are all very similar. Ever read Campbell?)

Do people get anything out of belief in god(s)?

 

[Riverwolf]

Do people get anything out of belief in god(s)?

What's that have to do with what I said?

 

[Erebus]

Do people get anything out of belief in god(s)?

Ideally yes. Some deities do more harm than good though (whether they are real or not).

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Answer my question, and you''ll have your answer to why people invented god.

 

[Riverwolf]

Answer my question, and you''ll have your answer to why people invented god.

Then my question would be, why do people need to get something out of a belief in gods?
