Our imaginary gods

[Yggdrasil]

Okay?

If you're trying to point to contradictions in the bible: Yes we were created pure and in the image of God, it was Adam's choice to eat the forbidden fruit that brought sin into people's lives.

How is admitting we're sinners sad? Can you name me one person who has never done anything wrong?

No, I think the whole mindset that a lot of Christians have where "people are unworthy", "people are all born bad" is sad. It automatically makes people into no good sheep. Sure, we all do bad things, but I'm looking at how the Church has made it seem like people are helpless to be good unless they accept some sort of deity.

I believe we create our gods by our fears and our hopes and our desires. We don't want to believe the universe is blind and insensate so we create gods to give us a purpose to exist.

I believe we have been slaves to our own creations and that true Reason can only come from abolishing such primitive superstitions.

you have chosen to lean on your own understanding, therby making yourself god! So, yes I guess that in a way you are right, we do make up our own gods!
