Why did God create the universe?

Perhaps to answer what wasn't answerable in bc and early ad.

Bronze age folk weren't professors, they had a tremendous amount of fear.....which assigns the designated fear based religions to.

Think about it as India, the Buddha, a fantastic child wonders outside the safety of his inner kingdom; discovers poverty and other awful things. Comes up with something which is a philosophy based on loving kindness and compassion. This wasn't a fear based movement for protection was his all his young life, until he sought to see what was of his world.

The most frightening thing about the father of Buddhism Hinduism, isn't brick fire death and destruction to those that were non believers.

Then of course the courage of the monks of the Shaolin protectors of their home, and some of us now do yoga, or a form of meditation that comes from that dynasty.

The fear was real, war kinda kills folk. No bogyman there.

Feeling safe allows to move away from a figure head being the invisible leader of 'faith' for those that claim this faith. It just doesn't exist.
"Religion is comparable to Childhood neurosis" Sigmond Freud

"If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and motions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority."

SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."

SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck." George Carlin

"The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation." Elizabeth Cady Stanton - American Suffragist (1815-1902)
