I've always believed that the true concept of God is beyond our pitifiul human ability to fully comprehend. All religions are therefore little more than flawed attempts to explain the unexplainable, very simililar to the way one uses analogies and stories to explain things like right and wrong to children. |
I lately believe that the true concept of god is in mankinds nature to conceive. It is precisely within our pitiful ability to fully comprehend. The very nature of the human cognition is to make sense of things, to order causally and logical what is neither. Therefore god and religion emerges. God is the ultimate causality that explains all, a natural and quite rational induction carried out by mankind through ages.
