Interesting. Way back, mankind invented Gods by the carload. I believe that this is because in trying to understand himself, each aspect of humanism was defined, and somehow given life. God of the moon, God of the harvest, God of sweet putang, God of war and so forth. It is now commonly believed that all those Gods were false. Later came a new God, a God above all other Gods, which were of course fake - but this one is real. Really......... No longer did Man have to go down the road to worship the God of harvest to insure his crops would grow, and then turn around to worship the God of war to ensure his conquest(s) would be successful. Kind of one stop shopping. Much more convenient. New and improved. Easier, which is one of the hottest buttons to push in the advertising game. Some philosopher said that if God didn't exist Man would have to invent him. I don't remember these guy's names all that well, especially the one I can't spell whose name is pronounced neechy. I ain't even fucking looking it up because you know who I mean, but I think that guy said that God is dead. This was another one I think. So the old Gods were not but the new one is. Something like that. I've a friend who simply refuses to believe. His stance is that if you created a planet and humans and all that, wouldn't you care what's going on ? Would you not make your presence known and of course your power, and actually guide your creations to their destiny ? (whatever that is). He has a point. How can one create all this and not give a shit ? Kinda makes sense. If you have a kid, do you just kick it out as soon as it leaves the womb ? No, you stick around and teach and nurture. Whether God created Man or the other way around, where the fuck is he ? If God created Man, first of all many can figure out that the job is not quite done to say the least. If Man created God, how did he create something so far beyond his comprehension ? This aloof God, immune to right and wrong and pretty much everything else, if created by Man, would seem to indicate that Man wants to transcend all morality and what he calls normal sensibilities. I'm not sure, but if you look around I think there might be some evidence of that. To transcend morality and sensibility. Hmmmm. So we have this Constitution that tiptoes around the idea, using the word "Creator". Our rights were bestowed by the Creator. That implies some being was standing around with nothing better to do and decided to create a planet and people and plants and animals and whatever. But what if that's bullshit ? What if it just happened ? From where would our "God goven" rights come in that case ? With no Creator to bestow anything, we ain't got shit. Or do we ? T^T
