So are you calling the Q'uran, Bible and Torat man made?

Here's my argument against God.  The idea came to me as a teenager while I was 'compelled' to go to church with my parents and learn about the stories of the Bible.  I found it funny that the personalities of God and man are so similar, even though God was suppose to be infinately more powerful and knowledgable than man.

Lets assume God exists and that God created the universe and is all powerful.  Man is more powerful than an ant, yet nothing compared to the difference between God and man.  A man puts ants in an ant farm, feeds them, watches over them, but he requests that the ants pay homage to him in return for his deeds.  The man feels that the ants disobey him and dont pay proper respect to him, so he takes the ants out and tortures them horribly.

We would all say that the man is being ridiculous, yet when we look at God we think his actions are not so ridiculous.  Why would a God want people to worship him?  Why would he want to reward or punish inferior creatures in such a way that is described in the Bible?  Why is God angry, or jealous?

The answer is that God was created by man, and naturally man gave God human-like characteristics, just like we give animals and other mythical beings human-like characteristics in other man made stories.  This explains why God has the personality of a human king in 5,000 BC.  At that time men desired to be worshipped, they were very angry, jealous, and vengeful against others, and they ruled with a iron-fist.  Actions God commanded of his Old Testament followers are considered harse and ridiculous by today's standards, but were on par with mankind at that time.

Hey, lets use logic to try to figure out supernatural things.

 



Hey, let's use supernatural things to explain what we don't know.

Its just an endless loop. You can't disprove God, and you can't prove him either. Its foolish to bicker over it

That is correct, we can't disprove god if he doesn't exist because there are countless ways around arguments of the sort.
However, if god exists it shouldn't be impossible to prove it.

All religions and holy books are man made.

 Which one? You can disprove some really easily.

Where does it say that there has to be a way to prove that God exists? Is there some kind of deity handbook or list of rules?

 

Using logic to try to prove that something supernatural exists or does not exist is illlogical.

Technecally you can't.

 

Sure its funny to laugh at the Elephant guy or Xenu, but you still can't really disprove their existance. There is no set rules for gods, and thus so there is no way to determine if they are real.

Most people pick a religion and have faith that it is the true religion. There is no way to say their choice is incorrct just cause you disagee with it.
