Man created God in his own image

When it comes to the question of the existence of a God, I remain agnostic, but when it comes to the Gods of individual organised religions, I am firmly atheistic.

The irony of it all is that most scriptures decree that God created man in his own image, when in actual fact it was man who created God in his own image. That is why the teachings of religions often conflict, and the nature of God appears to differ. Each author of scripture is different, and therefore their created God differs.

All it would have taken is for a self appointed ‘prophet’ to get it into his head that God communicates to him through his own thoughts, and every idea he had he would have considered to be the ‘word of God’. Hence God’s rapidly changing personality throughout the religions, a strange trait in a being that is supposed to be omnipresent.
