Why do people worship their favorite imaginary deity out of fear?

@Peaceandnamaste good answer. People make Him bend to their religion lock him up on a golden cage resurrect him from the dead... Jethro Tull words but

@Peaceandnamaste Honestly, I agree, with all of that. I have much respect. 😊🌷

@Oster1 I have a great respect for you and in your beliefs. I'm a born and bred Roman Catholic and that's where my casual attitude stem from I suppose. 1.5 billion can't be wrong lol.

@Oster1 it's the converts that are real practicing faithful.

@Peaceandnamaste Aho. Bless you, your ancestors and great grandfather. You hold the wisdom of the ages and will know endless moons of contentment and happiness.

@Peaceandnamaste I agree that God is nature or nature is God. It's obvious to me

@Peaceandnamaste I apologize. I definitely read your reply wrong and will edit, immediately. 😊🌺

@kentex35 Thank you, for your very kind and loving words.

We share a similar upbringing. I appreciate you.

Please, have a lovely weekend! 😊🤗❤️

@Grateful4you Thanks

@Oster1 I'm not the best of writer. If a man's says his is the only true religion I will says he's not true to much of anything. If one is not confident in their beliefs and will listen open minded, I will learn something. If they say well that's what my peacher says end of discussion then there never was a discussion.

@kentex35 I learned this from my experience with LSD. "Oh God, I can push the grass apart and lay my finger on thy heart" Edna St.Vincent Millay

@Grateful4you don't try the flying one

@Grateful4you I've enjoyed my share of LSD. And mushrooms, angel dust. Mind expansive.

@kentex35 It was the Peyote buttons that taught me why in cave paintings are so frequently found both in human and animal images these very exaggerated elongated necks. These drugs when I started feeling the effects often made my own neck start to feel almost sore from the sense of feeling stretched. I actually once felt like I was a giraffe and could barely sit comfortably, feeling like my head would soon be brushing the ceiling.

Just a bit of advice to any young people planning to take one of these, no need to be alarmed. The effect is frequent.

@kentex35 [quote]1.5 billion can't be wrong[/quote] Yes they can.

@kentex35[quote] If a man says his is the only true religion I will says he's not true to much of anything.[/quote]

Well if a person knows what they believe and why, as you said they should, then they should know it is God that says His way is the only true way. Then you're telling the truth. God is no liar.

@Peaceandnamaste Yeah How dare God tell us we can't be racist, hateful, rapists, and murderers! We can kill people but we can tell him he is judgmental if he kills us...😂

@Carazaa Why does God allow people to be raped and molested if he's "good"? If I was God I would stop a child from being molested and abused by a predator.

@Peaceandnamaste God is not a micromanager of every person, unless you have a personal relationship with Jesus because you have faith. God didn't die on the cross for nothing, and for people to ignore him.
