Who Made Whom?
This relates back to the "age old question" of "What came first? the chicken or the egg?" Who made whom? that is my question. One that I have obsessed over greatly! In this case I refer to Man and "god"? Did man invent "god" to reassure "his" own insecurities to explain the unknown, or was it "god" who invented man? It is also a question which we will never truly "know" an answer for, since we can only "know" what we can see, or interact with either directly or indirectly. You may say that we can interact directly and or indirectly with "god" BUT... How does one know that it is god, with whom we are interacting?? At least an omniscient omnipotent one. Which is why my own personal belief is that Man is god. I mean Man collectively as in the whole human race. Which in part does make "god" omnipotent and omniscient in so far that "god" knows everything that the entire human race "knows" and yet it is omnipotent seeing as they can do all that humans can do. This too makes "god" nearly omnipresent, at least it is where ever Man is. Yet I still say that "god" is the irrational answer to the world irrationality. This is one of the major flaws in Human society, we expect or at least the vast majority of us expect that an irrational explanation can or will make the irrational at least somewhat more rational, but unlike with multiplication two negatives do not form a positive, which is somewhat irrational in and of its self? I mean can you explain to me how making a negative number greater by a negative scale somehow turns it in to a positive? I thought not... that doesn't even make any real mathematical since at least to me. It seams somewhat hypocritical in my mind, which is exactly how I see organized religion! Most if not all major religions agree that the taking of something that does not belong to you is not right, in this case things means both lives and objects and yet organized religion is at the root of many of the wars that have gone on throughout history, most notably the crusades, and this present Iraq war! If the taking of things that do not belong to us is amoral, then how does the Christan faith or the Muslim faith justify the killings that have been made at their hands of others who are not of their faith, or in some cases are of the same "faith" they just practice it in a different manner! I am not saying that those who choose religion are bad or that religion is entirely a bad thing, it does make for a good form of support for those that need it, creating a sense of belonging for those that may need it.
