.......either god/relgion is idiotic [ which religions are--since they are made up by humans ] and/or there is no god
Things made up by humans: Laws, boats/ships, airliners, cars, castles, mansions, art, music, words, writing, gardens, watches, computers--and on and on. Perhaps we agree that humans came up with all these things through observation and then taking their observations to a higher level. Humans create, but they do not create from nothing, but from a starting point. Due to proper construction, many human creations stand the test of time. Many more become a pile of rubble before the next generation. (Success versus failure.)
Primitive man understood part of our makeup is spirit, and that some of our experiences are more spirit than physical in nature. (Man observing.) Some of the religions built up around these spiritual experiences stood the test of time; others did not. (Success versus failure.)
We see success versus failure in our own life. Many people are successful at building ships, rockets, monuments and gardens. I have succeeded at gardening while failing at all the others. Some people are successful at creating art, music, and poems. I can create a poem, but am a colossal failure at art and music. Some people can find their way up Mount Everest; others find the narrow path into true religion. I fail at the former, succeed at the latter.
Obviously, my failures outnumber my successes, yet I, personally, find no need to deride the successes of others. In fact, I enjoy hearing and reading about them. When hearing about them, I find no need to point out all the failures of ships, buildings, art, and music and reach a conclusion that making the attempt at all is worthless.
While it may be as worthless for you to make the attempt at religion as it would be for me to make that attempt on Everest. perhaps we both can appreciate instead of denigrate what others have even when we don't have that within ourselves.
