Mantus

Anyone can say they believe something. People were absolutely sure the world was flat. Shamans danced every morning to make the Sun rise. Men eat tiger testicles to make their libido stronger. Astronomers though that all planetary orbits were perfect circles for they believed that god would only create the heavens out of perfect circular trajectories. Thieves sprinkled powdered human bone around houses they were robbing so the ones inside would sleep like the dead. Sailors were afraid that the horizon was the edge of the world. The example can go on for several thick volumes. The point is that in every case the people “believed”. Yet they were wrong.

Now some may say “but God hasn’t been disproven”. Well frankly, so hasn’t the bogeyman. If we are to look at one hint that god is a human creation, then we must look for the time he was created and I assure you there was such a moment. Tribal cultures never believed in god. In Asia people still do not believe in “the god”.

Then there is the obvious argument that the tribal cultures were not developed enough to understand god. And that the Asian cultures knew of god but interpreted him in a different way.

Both of these arguments have the obvious flaw. IF the only proof of god that you people have is the fact that you “feel” his existence. Then even the most primitive culture should be able to “feel” the same way. For our feelings were around long before our advanced intellects were sharpened by modern society. Infact these tribal people should have been the very first people to “feel” god because they were not inhibited by todays advanced logical thinking that makes so many question the existance of god. Also if all knowledge and understanding of god comes from the “heart” then the Asian and many other cultures which do not practice monotheism should not exist. For surely they would know in their “hearts” that there is only the one and all powerful god, because the knowledge of god does not come from the senses nor the intellect but from the source itself.
