Who created god?

[smax]

You were on your way to pose a truly novel question... and then went the other way...

If there is nor ever was any direct physical interaction with, but one can reason logically and come to the conclusion that god exists.... who was the first person to reason like this and arrive at this conclusion? Who was the human that, for all intents and purposes, created the concept of god?


Corollary question: and how did he manage to convince others of that?!

Most of my posts are aimed at getting the religious person to ask the kinds of critical questions they otherwise never think to ask.

If you ask a religious person, which human being invented religion, they will reject the premise altogether.

"Human beings didn't invent religion, god did!"

Where do you go from there?

However, if you pose questions that, for the sake of argument, accept certain elements of their beliefs, you can sometimes get them to recognize dead ends, inconsistencies, and other dilemmas that there beliefs introduce.

When a religious person says, "man must have a creator", I like to test the limits of that logic.

Maybe that's not a novel question, but I think it can make for a very interesting discussion if you can get a Theist to address it.

So far, it appears the question itself is too challenging to field.
