Actually that is a very good point.

There seems to be some kind of mutual dependency between the worshipper and the worshipped. God (allah or whatever they call him) appear rather fixated upon being praised and respected.

The true sign of a feeble mind, if you ask me.

Yes, worship is a god's food, without it they just wither away. That's what happened to Zeus and Quetzalcoatl and Horus, worshippers went away and the gods starved to death. That's why they need us.





(now lets see how many take that seriously )

Nietzsche reflected your thoughts in a parable. Unlike the religion of his times which cast him as a heretic, IMO he was pointing out our "gods" exist and are cast aside as we choose.

"Where has God gone?" he cried. "I shall tell you. We have killed him - you and I. We are his murderers."

His message in the parable was gods will always be perishable until we as humans become god like ourselves.

"Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us - for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto."

Nietzsche God is dead quote

Have a look in issues, several of the posters there think they're omniscient and omnipresent. Offhand I'd say Emperor Tud, Accidental Ajaran, and paulsmithson are polishing up their resumes right now.

i think gentleman you are all way off and this is clearly demonstrated in the quite brilliant American documentary film blood diamond, where by a slip up from a demi-god, leo decaprio(he's so dreamy) he lets us in on the secret of what actually is the case of the apparent mystical one known as 'god'!

Sometimes I wonder if God will ever forgive us for what we've done to each other...Then I look around and I realize... God left this place a long time ago.

so there you go i hope this all eases your minds about god.

no need to thank me im just doing my job!

From what I am able to discern the god of the Old Testament is an impulsive, selfish all-powerful adolescent that one can negotiate with if one believes they have the wits and balls to do so. The Jews of old worshiped a bratty child. The god of the New Testament is Lurve.

the funny thing about god is that people use him to make either good or bad things happen, and mostly the bad is incredibly worst then what is given as the good, with also the aspect that most moral people would be so anyway without god.

So it is a shame that we have this infringement of most rights and laws allowed to exist because of an incoherent scared childish mob collated by psychological misunderstanding of the world they live in, but that is unfortunately life!!!!!!!

of course the biggest giveaway is that 99 x out of 100 you have to pay for your faith, in regards to money or with something tragically more priceless, precious and profound, ones life!!!!!

Tis a damn shame........

It is said that every time humans have tried to create heaven on earth, they have only achieved in doing the exact opposite.
