All of the different races and cultures have their Gods in their image.
Pick one, and defend.
I go with man made god. The evidence is beyond overwhelming.
Every religious book ever written, every text, every scroll, everything was created by and written by man.
Many of those texts and scrolls have unknown "authors".
Most if not all were written 1000's of years ago. Edited and revised hundreds of times. By men.
Man is a fearful and superstitious creature.
Why is that volcano destroying our village? We obviously made god angry.
Also - because there's thousands of variations to the "god" story across the globe, it's clear that man is creating these stories.
Man obviously made god.
God is the answer to everything we can't answer.
God is the easy out.
Man is too weak to simply accept "I don't know".
Man must have an answer, even if that answer is un-provable flip-flap.
I still think man made up the god concept to bridge the gaps in our knowledge
but one shouldnt underestimate what these stories can inspire for good and for ill.
So you're firmly in the camp of "man created god" I assume?
The fact that those nations who did not know the True God created their own gods is a testament to God created man with the innate need/desire to worship his Creator...
What the feck is this apologetic theistic dung pile supposed to mean? There is no one true god, even tribe thinks that they have the one true god, even JWs likes yourself. To say that your argument is circular is beyond obvious.

Having reading comprehension problems, are ya...:2razz:
No. Why would you ask?

No. It's a testament to the fact that man is a fragile and superstitious being with an innate desire to create answers to the unanswerable.
Without using the bible, or any jw.org cut and paste, please defend your statement that man has an innate need/desire to "worship".
You can drop the "True God" idiocy too.
You have no clue if such a thing exists. You have belief.
So do many many others who believe is a completely different god.
Your belief has the same odds of being correct as theirs does.
Which also means your belief has the same odds of being incorrect as theirs does.
Well, it's obvious you do not understand what I said...
The fact that those nations who did not know the True God created their own gods is a testament to God created man with the innate need/desire to worship his Creator...
why would there ever be anyone who did not know god if god is not man made?
I understood you very well, but it still doesn't make sense. I read it four different times with different emphasis each time but it was still just as logically incoherent.
Because of what happened in the garden of Eden, when man made the decision to separate himself from God's guidance...
