God is a Fake

[marieelissa]

I really am realizing that God is a fake but I could create my own like a God is general that keeps everything in balance but not a personal Savior type of God.

What God do you believe in?

Hey there,


As a Christian, I'm a little confused at the the 'realization that God is fake'. Can you elaborate on your opinion? It's truly interesting!

A lot of the times, people go through troubling experiences and completely denote the existence of God based off of hardship (e.g. lost of loved one, death/incidents, wish not coming true, etc). While there are many answers to just about every problem we human beings are capable of having, what we feel and go through is just as important!

Pertaining to your question, though, that's another topic. I guess anyone can pick up a rock and call it god, but are we talking about looking for truth, or just what makes us feel better? That can be two different topics (and come on, usually it is!)

I think truth doesn't come easy to our ears, or definitely not to mine, because I'm usually 'set' in my ways. There are things I like to do and don't like to be told it's 'wrong' and feelings I like to feel that I don't care to change, etc. But then again, I think everyone may be like that at some point in their lives. Love the logic we alone build and call it truth - is it possible there's someone who knows more than us? Knows the best way to live? Knows truth? Yeah, looking for truth is a lot harder (again, I think it's because we make it hard!) then looking for something that makes us feel better. That's the easy part. Just look around in this world - media, idolizing celebs, etc. So many ways to just make us feel better, or as you said, 'pick your own god'.

I think if someone's going to pick something to idolize, hopefully that person understands..they just made it up! It's like believing a story that was clearly false. I believe Lord of the Rings was a true story! But if it makes me feel better, does it make it true?

Sorry to rant, I just think this branches off into another interesting topic - truth vs. self-gratification.

People all over the world believe in all kinds of gods.  God is whoever or whatever you want him, her, or it to be.

Just the usual group of people whose prayers I don't answer, like starving children in Africa.

The atheist belief(whether you guys want to admit it or not) is making yourself a god by judging for yourself what's right and wrong.

@Marie: Your doing something called wild talk, don't get too discouraged we all do wild talk sometimes.

Sorry to break it to ya, but everyone does that.  Even Fred Phelps.

Wow, now THAT's an *bleep*-backward perspective and observation if I've ever seen one, teflon, and I have.
In addition to Phelps (and every single person alive) you judge what's right and wrong too, teflon. It's called having a brain, decency, a conscience, and a hundred other things most humans possess.
