Though if any gods existed, and cared about how this species thinks of them, and planned to judge us for our actions, you'd think that god would try harder to set everyone straight. Instead, it lets its followers kill each other over differences in how they worship it, or what they believe it thinks.
It's a citing attempt at human ego, and how it affects religious choices.
You analyzed my post correctly ! I wrote the first line before reading all your comment.
Well, there are two scenarios:
1)Humans created God, and their ego drew a very distorted image
2)God does exist and humans did know that (at one point), and with time their ego twisted his image
Ah..atheism is the denial of number two..and actually, even religious people nowadays -a large portion of them- don't agree on ALL of scenario 2; i.e the twisting of the idea of God to fit their human needs.
I do think I could do a better job of things, if I had was all powerful, but that's just a hypothetical, and two thousand years from now most who could view my life would likely call my ideas outdated too. That's unavoidable if you don't change over time, which the abrahamic god supposedly doesn't.
