Local Evidence here on HubPages that Man created God in his own Image

Something I've noticed here in the forum is that there would appear to be as many flavours of God as there are believers. I won't mention any names, but I've noticed that inclusive, welcoming people have an inclusive God who loves everyone; people who like the idea of judgment and punishment have a judgmental God; people who tend towards mysticism have a cosmic God; people who like regimentation and ritual find their God in a church or mosque; while the individualists find that they have a private relationship with their exclusive personal God.

To me, this strongly suggests that man creates God in his own image, and not the other way around.

  hahaha its more of a figure of speach than anything else. God is the Light with no beginning and no end and we all come from him , all are his form.
  We all manifest from this light.

  In fact, Mohit's view isn't so far removed from my own. We are both in awe of the cosmos. It's just that he sees the cosmos as God and I see it as the cosmos.

  Probably not but I cannot explain faith either. To have faith in anything is making an area in your mind where hope and possibility can exist. That is not to say that whatever you have faith in will happen merely because you are open to it happening. But when it does it can make you think that something helped in its' fruition.
  
  Some people place God in that mix to make it feel like there is somebody listening and may possibly grant your request. Some even think you can petition God this way. Regardless of what you think about faith it is given and when it goes horribly wrong is when it is given with an expectation of reward.

  You've put this and your hypothesis very eloquently! What you've said takes me back to my psychodyanmic training - It seems to be a simple case of the psyhological defence mechanism of projection. It's so easy to project onto God either parts of ourselves that we love or parts that we hate because our view of him/her is an image formed in the mind - our fallible mind.
  
  That's not to say that that is all god is neccessarily, but it's very easy for many people to "put on" god what they want to put on him/her and not look beyond their own thoughts.

  Otherwise I won't know if it's what I really believe or just something someone told me to believe. I've been asking myself the question "Are we our beliefs?" for a long while. When we question our beliefs and find they do not hold up the process of them crashing down can be extremely painful, but once we've got past that point, there is the option to create something new and more congruent with who we really are.

I see the values of having a religion, now and for the future, but it does not always suit me, i make sacrifices, a lot of them if the truth be known, because i believe my religion is right......

  Personally, I prefer to do without beliefs, as far as possible. In particular, I try to avoid accepting answers that prematurely stop a line of inquiry. An obvious example would be the Genesis creation story. To accept that as an answer to the question of origin simply does away with archaeology, geology, cosmology, etc. I'd say, where you can't know, you should not pretend you can, but you should keep trying.

  Susana Sposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  I'm on the same page. My belief in the creation story fell down when I was about 7 years old, with the rest of the bible stories following suit very quickly.
  
  I guess I've jumped on the link between how our beliefs (in any area) affect what we think the truth is, and in relation to your hypothesis how this affects how people see god.

  It also helps to be aware of the distinction between belief and knowledge, and in the case of beliefs, to be able to mentally assign them probabilities, rather than insisting they are absolute truths. From this, comes a degree of humility and a great deal of tolerance.

Hi Paraglider,

I am glad that I bumped on you. Had the pleasure of reading your profile and a couple of posts. So, a philosopher cum wanderer!

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says there are 2 types of seekers "the bahutak" and the "kutichak". Bahutak wanders here and there to find answers and when he exhausts his wander thirst, he becomes a kutichak - one who sits at one place to contemplate and seek the truth within himself.

By the way, have you heard of Ramana Maharishi? I think, he is the best person for your temparament. Find out!

Can't agree with the OP because it can easily be taken more than one way - wouldn't God manifest to everyone in the way they understand and can accept the best? When God reveals "him"self to someone, that person can't even think about it, there are no concepts or words to cover God so eventually one has to find a way to refer, even in one's own mind, to what happened and what is.

That IS making God in one's own image in a way but that doesn't change what God is in the first place.
