We are the offspring of Gods.  Our purpose is to become gods and multiply and replenish the heavens.

Why believe in a god that:\nMurders his children. (great flood)\nMurders his children's children (babies in Egypt)\nImpregnates a married woman (Mary)\nHas an illegitimate child. (JC)\nAnd to top it off, that conceited jerk says to worship him? (1st commandment)\n\nI would say your "idiot" claim is misguided.

I believe in the existence of all deities (not just my own), however I also believe that some religious extremists/authorities USE religion to control the masses. I don't believe religion was every meant to be USED for anything. Religion shouldn't even be used to control personal opinions of morality (something it's commonly used for); you should decide what YOU believe is right and wrong, and find a religion that coincides with your beliefs. You find religion; religion doesn't find you.\n\nPeople are often saying, "I've FOUND religion," or "I've FOUND Jesus," but more often than not, IT finds THEM. They didn't go looking for it, it got handed to them (or shoved in their face), and they were just easy enough to convince.

Exactly, ! worship the creator , not the creation.... It follows by logical necessity that if God is one, and if He is eternal, Then He does not beget , Nor is he begotten. Because if He beget, then He will have a child then the child will have to be God-like. So there will then be two Gods. Since there is only one, you cannot have two.  OR If he was begotten, that means he would have father. Then the father will be older than him, wiser than him, more eternal than him. and you cannot have one who is more eternal than ETERNAL.

If you are a christian, a jew or a muslim, you do all worship the same god. Maybe it is time to examine your premises as to what a god, or your god, is, and why is it that you think it is involved in man's foibles - at least on a day-to-day basis.

worship is bringing glory to God.  I think you can worship though song, what you say, your actions, etc.  Just make sure it is bringing glory to God!

Maybe as a way to stop taking herself too seriously. If everyone all worshipped you, you'd probably develop an ego problem. Maybe atheists help god keep things in perspective?

I think everyone worships something whether they believe in God or not.  Some people even worship the idea of not having a God because they have to tell everyone about it.  I do agree with your idea about weakness.  I think that people who are insecure about their beliefs tend to try to recruit people to believe the same thing so they don't feel alone.  Those who are secure about their own beliefs tend to keep quiet and go on with their lives.  They don't need to feel justified that their beliefs are okay since they have their own truth.

I believe God wants us to know specifically who he is and how to get to him.  Therefore, he provides us Scriptures. I just can't believe we can make up a god of our own imagining and have it be the right one. Only one can be right, otherwise he would be contradicting himself.

yes it it true that all of us agree that their is only one god. even in hinduism where apprentlly many gods are worshipped even the uneducated devout hindu agrees that all of them are just different facets of one divine gem.\n  the real problem is not that there is someone other than god being worshipped but everbody thinks his is the only right way of worshipping.\n\n Regarding OPM's post:\n   the paragraph is not out of context. The Upnishads contain deep philosophical theories and maintain that there is only one abstract god. in hinduism it is just accepted that worshipping something you can feel but not see is not possible for everyone. and most of the people need a symbol. so hinduism allows you to worship and pray to god in whatever form you like .\n\nKrishna says :\nif any worshiper do reverence with faith to any god whatever,\ni make his faith firm and in that faith he reverences his god and gains his desires for it is i who bestow them.\n\n accept it or not, while people may not be worshiping  actual idols every faith has something as a symbol of god . Be it a book or be it a cross or a place or a structure.

God has a reason for everything. Human beings cannot comprehend God and the reasons things happen.

No, it doesn't make sense. It's another (of many) reasons people have non-belief. Why would anyone want to believe in a higher power that would punish them, even if they were good people and led very positive lives, just because they didn't acknowledge the existence of or worship that higher power? Not appealing to think the common example of a god is thinking "I don't care how wonderful you are, since you won't bow to me I'm gonna punish you". *shakes head*

No. There is only one true and living God and He is the only ture God because He died and rose again to save us from our sins. The other gods, like allah and buddha are dead. They are worshipped because of their thoughts, not because of their deeds. Jesus Christ, the Son of God came to Earth to die for each and every human being. He sits at the right hand of the Father in heaven and one day He will return.

... and then not give us a clear sign that "yes, god is here. Worship!"\n\nYeah, this is the same question I keep asking, and I keep getting terrible answers for it. God made us to worship him, then made the careless mistake of giving us the option to not worship him. Either god is incompetent, god is malevolent, or god is not omnipotent.

Yes, God is God no matter what you call him (or her) or how you choose to worship.\nI wish everyone understood this!
