I can agree with you on that people create their own god, but to me it seems like everyone creates their own verison of god. Ok maybe not god but belief system so that they can feel confortable about doing what they think is "right". And when someone else says there's a flaw in their thinking, people become defensive. As if you were attacking them, but no one is and it leads to misunderstanding and then into an argument over nothing. But now that I think about I think make belief systems because they don't know themselves, maybe that's why they get defensive.
'Cause when I think about it no one knows themselve or anything early in life, at least for me, when I was a kid I felt like I had forgotten myself. You're just taught the way and meaning of what other people made up to make sense of the world. So it's like people create a persona but don't know it to fit into society. However after so long some people start to feel like there's something missing or something they're not aware of that they need. So they try to find it in the ways of the belief system but can't 'cause that's how they've been living already and they're unsatisfied with it. Which just leads to more problems I guess.
Wow did not mean for it to go for this long. But that's how I kind of see this whole thing. But I do believe in god but I'm not getting into that right now.
