| Re: English class question Ohhh this is a sketchy topic, but I'll try to answer it the best I know. Yes I do believe that Man created God. Mainly, because it was founded in a desperate time in history where people were in particularly bad situations in life and wanted to find a way to make their lives seem more fulfilling. There was disease, extreme poverty, and the rich were taking advantage of everything available at the expense of the poor. Then Jesus came along telling the poor that their lives were valued and that the rich would experience punishment because of their behavior. This made the poor happy to hear, and since they made up the majority of the population they followed this belief with hope in mind and it spread in vast popularity. So people believed in God/christianity as a means of hope quite plainly ( still like that today). And despite the Bible claiming all events represented in its pages are true and accurate, I can't help but think that is was written by people who did follow the teachings of Jesus, hence it could be exagerrated and biast, and it's gone through so many translations and rewritings over the past centuries I wouldn't doubt if some of the passages were altered. That's my opinion simply stated, hope it fits into what you wanted. |
