Why did god feel the need to create man?

2019-01-20 at 8:25 PM UTCIt’s not like anyone can follow the rules set out by any of the major world religions anyway.
why did god ever create man? I mean, let’s face it, by nature man is rebellious. So rebellious, in fact, that he has to have this “conscience” that decides what is right and wrong for him. And what’s right for me is wrong for the next person, based solely on what we were taught to blindly believe.
So please do tell me ... why did man create a Being greater than himself to tell him what he needs to do when, quite frankly, man doesn’t like to be pushed around ... especially by someone that you cannot presumably see or have any form of real legitimate communication with?
What good did man see when he created a god? Besides the blatantly obvious mechanism that could be used to control hoards of beings who require a deity to tell them what to think and do.
Let’s, for purposes of discussion, assume that there was nothing once upon a time.
And this nothing was intelligent enough to reproduce itself and everything else we see today which then begs the question, if a self-reproducing independent organism could replicate itself, why create gender in the first place with women being child bearers? Why didn’t the organism just leave life as self-producing (like trees and some reptiles are)?
And then, furthermore, if this organism was so smart that it could create galaxies that go to the n-th power and create the sun, moon, stars, rocks, planets, ... why create life ONLY on this planet?
I mean, really ... is this planet that significant to one organism that came from nothing? Anyway, I’m detracting.
Of course, this reproduction process took millions of years to get us to where we are today so that nobody can really really prove anything (everything is based on assumptions and theories and dating models that we think are correct).
If sciences timeline of homo sapien’s evolution is anything to go by, modern man is a pretty new species, with modern humans being only 200,000 years old.
But religion is, at best, 6- to 10,000 years old (depends on where you get your source from). So why would modern man (called hunter-gatherers) live for 190,000 years with some meagre developments such as burial tombs, pitchforks, axes, stone hunting tools, jedielry, the wheel ... and then, one day, just wake up and say, “Today, we shall make god!”
Seriously why do we as a species have such a deeply imbedded need for external controls? Religion – any religion – is at most 10,000 years old. So man lived for over 190,000 years and one day just got up and created a god. Why? What did man do for 190,000 years when there was no god? Why is there no historical evidence of a god prior to the recorded beginnings of the earth as in the Bible? And please ... having records of burial sites does not denote the existence of a god ... coz even atheists bury their dead! -

One of the greatest Internet forum honors is having someone do a parody thread about your own thread.
However, it would have been better if it had actually modified the main post to be the logical inverse, rather than just using the OP word for word (unless I missed any subtle differences).
I give it a D overall, because an attempt was made, but it kinda fell short of a good parody thread. -

You gave it the good old college try, and I respect that.
But the art of a parody thread is not something to be taken lightly. It takes creativity and ingenuity, and an eye for detail that can discern precisely when a parody thread is appropriate.
It will come with time. -
2019-01-20 at 9:43 PM UTCAnd you had that eye for detail here... This was a glorious opportunity for a quality parody thread, but it was weak in its execution, unfortunately.
