Who invented God and why won't they own up?

Despite some negative responses from others, I think these kinds of questions are quite common. Some people think that religious folk are naive, or can't handle the brutal "real world" and death. But honestly, creationism makes MUCH more sense to me than a whole lot of other theories floating around.

Obviously, if you don't believe in God,it will be hard to try and discuss the Bible and its events. It's something that needs to be personal to you. But religious or not, we all have moments of questioning. Our minds simply can't fathom things we cannot see, or don't understand. I know my head starts to spin when I think about "when" God began, when the world will end, the dinosaurs, etc etc.

But as long as I seek the truth, I know I'll never feel lost.

dinasosaurs first of all came before the bible you idiot. secondly, no one invented god he was always there...wait. why am I answering this? it's obvious you're just ignorant and don't have anything better to do than insult someone's religion. grow up.

leprechauns, santa clause, the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, the boogie man, and unicorns. they held a meeting one day and together they made up god. I'm almost 100% positive that's what happened ;]

We didin't come from apes. Apes and humans are both descended from a common ancestor.

Well for all of you who don't believe in God I pray that you find him because you will be going to hell if you get that tru connection and relationship. You laugh and joke Ha ha but its not a joke or game...

God was invented by society.

My mother did. And I'm owning up to it right now.

Umm Because NO ONE invented him...And its ok if you don't believe in him do what you want but it would probably be best if you kept it to yourself but then again do what you want...:(

They are. The word dinosaur wasn't invented until the 1800s. People used to call them dragons. The bible speaks of the "Chief" of God's creations and he was describing a dinosaur. Bronc I believe.

If somebody had invented god, they'd be dead by now anyway so they couldn't own up.

The bible said "animals were created" Never said all the types nor use the word we made up in it either. All the names of the animals we know now were made up by people. The bible was written by the Holy Spirit. read the beginning and yes Adam and Eve were hear before all.

Some crazy catholic people did a hella long time ago.

You must not know much about religion if you think God "invented" the devil. That makes your views rather irrelevant since you don't even know the subject matter.

You ask a question and we are given you answers but your not responding to them. Afraid of some debate?

Why would he tget baptised if he is GOD? Think about it. Now your sounding silly, making a joke out off christianity. Not cool.

this guy just likes to embarrass himself, stop giving him attention.

Lol, no one invented him. God really does exist. I feel sorry for non-believers.

Either God exists, or He doesn't. In the event that the entire thing is made up, it was made up in the past, so unless you hop in a time machine and hunt down whoever started religion, they can't own up to it. Is that not obvious? It's not like theology just dropped down on us recently.

ugh, I'm ashamed. this loser is an atheist and he can't even back up his theories. way to go, Jack*ss.

Since ther is no God in your mind, please explain to me this:

1) How was the universe created?

2) What else do we know has been PROVEN to create itself from complete scratch in this universe? Why are we willing to believe that the universe made itself out of nothing but if I said this computer I'm typing on came from a "big bang" of nothing, that is foolishness?


That's all I got to say.

Huh? Who invented GOD? he invented us and as far as who created him, I've always wondered what created that and so on and so forth. Its deep thinking but beats me.

God was invented for two reasons:
1.
All people had lots of questions about what was happening around them in nature and nobody had a good answer to their questions about "Why and How?" God is an easy answer, THE easy answer.

2.
Some people had (good or bad) ideas about what should happen in society.
If they went to their fellow people telling their ideas, nobody would listen.
BUT
If the went away for a day and came back, telling with great conviction "A God send me to you with the mission to say you that HE wants you to this and avoid that Or you'll all be hit by lightning, stricken by the plague and burn in Hell, but if you do as He told me you'll not really die but go to Paradise and get a reward in Heaven, after your dead". (wings and happiness and 40 virgins in a magnificent garden!)

THEN
the people, who were afraid of thunderstorms plagues etc would listen to him and pay some attention.

Moreover, since the reward would only be given after dead, they would obey without demanding their reward.

Sometimes these men had really good ideas, other times they just wanted power and riches for themselves.

That's why Humanity got (and sometimes benefited from) religions and priests


When did this happen? Probably when Humans began flocking together, living together in herds, using a kind of spoken language to communicate, some (long?) time before the Stone Age maybe.

1:
Let's evaluate what the Lord himself stated as commandment number one to Moses ontop of that mountain, which may I remind you if you break you will be doomed to hell for all eternity;

"1.You shall have no other gods before me" - So, this all loving God, the creator of life and master of the elements is willing to send his own creation, me and you, to hell for not believing he is there? If you ask me I don't know why such a great guy why is he effectivly saying "Worship me, or I'm going to make you burn in the depth of hell". Yeah, I'm starting to like this dude already...

2:
Slavery, it was abolished by man for the own good of mankind itself, agreed? If God is an all knowing man surely he would have stepped in and said "Hey, listen, slavery is not a good thing - you should abolish it now or else..." but instead he let us abuse other human's, yeah he let his son's abuse there own brothers and sisters.

Well I guess a christian trying to rationalize this could say, "God gave human's there own mind's and we will make our own mistakes, therefore you can't make that statement" - I agree with this point, but if you've read the Old Testiment and New Testiment you'll see the Bible is rampant with slavery and mistreating of other human being's (them very human being's being God's kid's)

Here is a passage from the bible I find very interesting;

"However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." - Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT.

When I wonder if I could get anymore shocking coming from, effectivly, the diary of God I see the following passage;

"If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever." - Exodus 21:2-6 NLT.

If you read the bible you will see it is rife with torture, slavery, abuse, sexism and even rape.

Ask yourself why such a great man would do this? Then ask yourself if he's real.

Face facts.

he doesn't need to get baptized
the devil was an angel who wanted to be like God, and since nobody can be like God, well you know the rest

DID God create Satan? I must admit I know nothing about the mythos...

he owned you before you were even born
prove to me he doesn't exist..if you say you don't belive in him because you can't see him I can prove why you can see him...
im not going to convert you I'm just going to prove you wrong

Nobody invented god. It's like it's been put, he either exists, or he doesn't. Personally, I DO believe he exists. What do you expect to get out of this question?

@ Question Asker: Why post such a stupid provocative question. You're only winding people up. So you don't believe in god, that's cool, neither do I, but you should have some respect for others who do.

What are you trying to do? Prove there isn't a god by showing everyone that there's no way God would be stupid enough to ever put something as pathetic as you on this planet?

NO, Bobby Boucher!

I invented god!

Babylonians are the DEVIL!

There is no sole person who came up with "God". Many people from many different cultures have tried to understand the world using assumptions and guess work instead of science and logic. There are some positives to this, but I believe most if not all are hollow and in the long run destructive if believed fanatically.

Basically you're question is a loaded one which I believe is incorrect...

Oh this is good. So tell me then, Mr. Atheist, just then who created the universe? Surely it was the Big Bang theory? Or perhaps we really are descended from apes. Whichever the case, the universe is set up quite perfectly for there to be sustained life on Earth. A perfect equation that surely must have been created by an entity. If I'm wrong, then at least state your own case. That is after all what you atheist like to do isn't it? Debate?

Who created Atheists and why won't they own up? That's the real question here. Or are you going to cop out and say you're agnostic like all the others.
