there must be something higher hierarchy than us,there is no doubt about that
call it God or any other name, we at our level of cognition will not be able to understand
same as the grass cannot understand an animal eating it,or an animal doesn't understand what humans are,they are something that feeds or kills them

Well, at the same time that despite all the sarcasm of this question, many people turn to God at a time when they are really very bad and there is a desperate situation in life and therefore they seek help from God

However, that's why Jesus came and died on the cross. It wasn't because we were praying to Him to save us. Many people still don't want to be saved... at least if you look at their words and actions. But Jesus did the job anyway, before anybody had a chance to pray.

Cool

Yes, I think that is part of reason why Jesus life and death resonates with so many. He saved people from damnation - and slavery by corrupt clergy regardless if it cost him his life and even regardless, if the freed commoners saw his sacrifice for what it was: Selfless act of love. The kind that is at best of times shown by parents to their children.

Christianity played huge role in knightly culture that developed in the west later on. For the first time in history, people felt, that they can be both just, protective and selfless, yet fierce warriors. Life and death of Christ humanized warrior culture and gave it meaning.

Nice picture, so romantic... the knight in armor is the protector, the savior, the hero. The woman look up to this Godly warrior as her savior - you can see the gratefulness on her face, her God saved her (by killing a few, or few hundred or even a few thousand human beings, not much different than the woman herself). No wonder God is a "he" a male figure. Poor females, they will have to bow the knee to their manly Gods. GOD be with them the day their heros aren't in such a good mood and want to take it out on his loyal subject(s).

Poor dippididodaday. Hasn't figured out that all people die, yet. Wants to blame the inner destructive qualities of mankind on God. So blind that he can't see that God is simply manipulating some of man's own destructive qualities to save some people from themselves... for eternal salvation.

So we see that it is essentially people like dippididodaday who promote destruction. But I will give him this. He may not know that he is doing what he is doing. But, don't count on it.

Cool

First of all, don't self pity to all you females too, because if and it is, God the supreme enjoyer, and enjoyer is male, enjoyed is female, so by the definition we as souls are females against God who is the supreme enjoyer. Because we must please God, not the other way arround.

Sorry I would answer all you guys but I'm on phone, catching last minutes on internet

God is our Father, and the New Testament tells us that the church (the Jerusalem above) is our Mother. If you don't make it to Heaven, you lose both, Father and Mother.

Cool
