Just like the guys who invented Zeus, it was the best they could come up with! or...they saw how sucussful older religions had been at controlling people and decided to try it out for themselves. Here's a thought: if this is the One True Faith™, then why isn't it the first? You would think that god would have chosne to reveal himself before paganism got popular. After all, worshiping him, rather than some pagan god, is one of the ten commandments (the first, in fact!). You would think it would have been a higher priority for him.
I didn't say anything except my concepts and ideas that "seem" to make some sense of why God might have gone this route.
Believe wtf you want. At least I've invested thought and learning on both sides of the issue. Rather than throw yours/others views out the window in a bias rage! There aint much here I haven't heard from an Atheist either!
Whatever your opinion on Catholics/Chrisitians etc....If what I wrote doesn't make "some" kind of sense to a thinking person then they would be the FIRST....and in total denial of anything to do with religion and God.
And unless you can come up with an argument "about" what I said...Then ...well, you don't have an argument! Tell me WHY it doesn't make any sense...and I'll listen?
