Where did God come from?

[Mister D]

So you have no personal knowledge or study or educated opinion on the origins of spirituality and God. You do however have a lot of opinions about other people on this forum. That makes you look sad dude.

No, I have no personal knowledge of God's origins (the topic). If you do I strongly encourage you to seek professional help. lol

Religion dude - religion. Who were they editors of the New Testament? Why did they feel the necessity to attach it to the Tora?

What are Christians afraid of? Where does our concept of Hell come from?

I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so ...

LOL...

You're an idiot.

Torah (I left out the "h"; big deal)

[Max Rockatansky]

God came from man's imagination to be used as a fear tactic by overlords to keep large masses of people in line and to dominate certain sub populations.

You are conflating God and dogmatic religions. There is "god" and then there is what people do in the name of their god.

However, if you are an atheist, someone who believes we are all meat computers walking around responding only to biochemical programming, then I can see you would justify the actions of mankind to do whatever is convenient.

So, do religious cults control their flocks?

That's what I asked you to explain. It's your claim.

Does religion not tell you what's going to happen if you don't follow God? (their version and interpretation of course). THAT is what "it" means.

Their version? Who are these people? How is the flock controlled? Please be specific. Again, I suspect you're being vague and evasive because you simply don't know.

Christianity split as it's own sect, rather than Abraham, "Christians" followed Christ, the way people followed Buddha or Gandhi.

Your point is what exactly?

So you have no concept of why Christians fear hell then. You should read; it will assist you greatly in thinking and conceptualizing and abstract thought, which is what religion and God is. It will help you to attain "empathy", and lower your guard to enable you to discuss the softer subject of spirituality and your relationship to it and other people. You won't be so alone and afraid.

You're babbling, jets. I will respect your musings on religion and spirituality when they deserve to be respected. You have some work to do.

[Mister D]

You're an idiot.

Torah (I left out the "h"; big deal)

In light of the incredibly stupid question you asked about why Christians felt compelled to attach the New Testament to the Torah it's quite reasonable to assume you did not know how to spell Torah.

Prove that.

[Captdon]

OK. Could you elaborate? I hear this perspective a lot about "control" etc. I really don't get it. How does the Bible control people?

I'd like to know how it controls me.
