God never made Hitler to teach others,he allowed the conditions for Hitler to be,through free will,i would like to think something good ultimately came out of the hell of that period,perhaps the fact that we currently enjoy the longest period of peace in Europe is testament to that.

Such bullcrap!
Free will has killed tens of millions of innocent people over the years, God knew that this would happen yet still made the world, what a dick.
Religions only decided to go monotheistic in recent times once they thought polytheism sounded ridiculous, can you predict the next step? People believe in the god or religion they do because they have been socialised and taught to lets be honest. If you were from the middle east you'd probably be a muslim, from Thailand a Buddhist, south America a Christian. Why do people believe? Theyve been taught to.

I think you are close to the truth of the next chapter
we areTrue, there is a big difference between believing in god and religion. I only believe in one less god than you so we are pretty much the same

When the sum of all parts sees themselves as the same the killing will stop.
Religion is a big one but the main one is wealth or lack of it, wealth and assets are spread very thinly with 98% of the human race, in various levels of poverty with 2% of people owning 90% of the wealth and money. People's quality of life goes hand in hand with their wealth and assets. So it stands to reason there are a lot of very pissed off people in the World.

I am not seeking an answer to everything, I am seeking to understand why some people need a God or what it is inside the mind of some that allows them to believe that the words laid down in one book or another are the words of a supreme being and/or the testimony of witnesses to the doings of the supreme being or his son, just because a man in funny clothes tells them so.
Talk about jumping to conclusions. I said there was evidence. I didn't tell you how I interpret it.
I completely agree

but there isnt any evidence. more people disagree with you than agree, so i'd have thought it quite usful to show the evidence if it existed.

I appreciate the time you spent writing this Mustafa.
I can grasp your personal understanding and reasoning because it steps away from blind faith in the historical and traditional sense where civilisations were and are ruled by the fear of God.
You are also able to step outside the box by saying you could be wrong, which in a debate/discussion is essential on both sides. The way you explain God sounds like nature with a God tag on it.
If I was going to explain God I too would say that it is a collective human consciousness striving for ultimate humanity as we are not there yet, but also that God is not to be found by worship, prayer and preaching.
One thing that is for sure is that the chances of us even being here were vastly minute, but the scale of the universe is equally vast raising the likelihood of planets like earth and intelligent species forming.
Currently our planet is perfectly balanced in our solar system, not through Gods work but through the chaos theory leading to a probability.
We cannot forget that we have always been taught things like Adam using a rib to make Eve, the world is 7,000 years old and that man was made in God’s image, with the added threat of Hell or Heaven thrown for good measure and it has worked in favour of the powerful for control.
People with total religious states of mind have notoriously locked up, banished or killed anyone who steps out of line with any new theory that they see as undermining their own belief. I don’t think atheists have a reputation for that and they could be considered more spiritual because they do not live with a superiority complex. We shouldn’t forget that those who have found God can rest on their belief with their search for knowledge being over, because that is the end game.
I do like your Interpretation of God but it is far removed from tradition and more like a bridge between God and science.

It's exactly this kind of self aggrandising, self satisfied dimwittery that makes me glad I know the existence of God is bullshit.

Once you allow yourself to know, truly know that god does not exist, that you are the sole charge of your destiny, that true love can exist between people without the conduit of religion, that nobody can judge you, you will never be punished by the celestial, an all seeing father, karma or any other dogma, once you have the courage to face life without having to believe you are being watched over, then and only then will you ever start to see life for the self contained, amazing, dumbfounding, beautiful realm it is. Ave the courage and wisdom to believe in your own, self nurtured ability.
More people disagree with me than agree.. about what?

about which god is the right god, or if there are one or many.
