in my opionion.. god is only a figment of your imagination.
when a person feels lost and believes they cannot do/have anything.. its because the person is weak and they need someone to grab onto. there are times when i do that also... when im in trouble, i might talk to myself. "god, please ___yada yada ______".
you're doing nothing but talking to yourself.
another view on religion... many years ago the greeks believed in multiple gods. (zeus, hera, hades, aries) nowadays, people all view those as tales and do not take these gods seriously. so in a few thousand years people might say the same about todays religions.
there's also science vs. religion
how the universe was created, evolution, dinosaurs etc...
i'm a science person so of course religion makes no sense to me in this dept.
here's a question:
do you believe in life on other planets?
it would be pretty narrow minded to think that life only exist on earth.
do you think aliens believe the world/universe was created like you do?
....i'd believe they have a different explantion for it.
to wrap it up:
god is "someone" people look to when they feel they're lost and need help because they're weak and no one likes being alone. but doesnt actually exist. its human nature to not want to be alone.. so we create something thats not there and look up to it.
