God is mixture of things.

A lazy explanation for things people haven't investigated. "God started life by waggling his magic nose"
Justice after life. "That bad man deserved punishment but died before I could kick him in the nuts, He shall be punished by god"
A way to placate the immature children "Granny is in a better place now"
And mishmash of abstract concepts "God is love, god is peace, god is moral" etc etc.

You can see why some societies still cling to the idea it is useful if you don't mind being wrong.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
