A Quote

Feeling: tickled
A quote I heard somewhere: "God is a creation of our minds to rationalize a life we cannot understand, a universe we cannot control, and a death that we cannot fathom." ______________________________________________ Update (5/4/04): In case anyone actually reads this. This quote is actually mine. I just said I heard it somewhere to get some honest opinions on it. As of right now there are 4 comments on the this entry, for the record. However no one is probably going to read this except me, so it really doesn't make any difference. I did this just to see people's reaction to a quote that was assumed not to come from myself. Nothing important. Just something I wanted to try.

I used to belive that. I rationalized it as the human need for purpose. I thought it was substantiated by the fact that every culture has some form of deity, so I placed it in one of those universal human characteristics like smialing- everyone on earth learns to smile to show emotion it is natural. So I thought people make up gods to bring meaning to their life because its a natural need. Then I learned about the different ways God reveals tbc
cont. himself to man. fist is through nature his creation- its hard for someone to look at it and think it was a cosmic accedent- that isn't our first conclusion. Second is our consience. Why do we as people have a feeling of right and wrong? When we are young we know when we do something wrong even if we don't know why we get punished. Third is through his word- the bible. The first two are natural everyone is borne with it. When 1 and 2 are tbc
cont. left without 3 things like false gods, ones own self or pleasures, science, any number of other things are put in its place. The person who thought that quote up, i think, had intelectualism or the exaltation of his own mind in the third spot. Thats my spin on it for ya!
