That's the question asked by atheists. Then they answer the question with...Man created God.
Hey, if I created God, God wouldn't be anything close to the one Christians, Muslims and Jews perceive. My God wouldn't be vengeful, or self centered, or spiteful. My God wouldn't say "Thou shall not kill", and then tell the "chosen" to go kill all the inhabitants of the "holy land" and take their land. And my God wouldn't be a bigot, choosing one race over another. My God wouldn't send his creation to hell for their mistakes, or because they didn't believe in a certain religion. My God wouldn't cause terrible disasters that wipe out millions of people. My God wouldn't cause billions of people to suffer their whole lives.
My God wouldn't have anything to do with anything negative.
So I don't buy their perceptions of God. But I don't get to decide what God is. I can't make God be what I want. But I can have my own perceptions of God. And I think that's why atheists don't except God...because they don't want to capitulate to the God of those religions. Those religions actually drive people away from God, instead of to God.
