The coversation is over God- the general ideal of God as we see it.Most feel that God is some higher being-Some form of life,or Supreme ''One'' the concept is narrow. When one even speaks of God they say '' He,Him, etc..etc..'' And they speak of it being the ultimate being.When someone speaks of god, the term is always held in high regard-Not low,not medium. God is what all think to be the highest being. Each religion speaks of a High being- Or a ''God'' . All would relate in this same way, as all things do relate to one another.Rather it be Christianity,Jewish,Buddist or even Peagen. Each one speaks of a set/single being that is held beyond all others. When spoke upon we all feel we are lesser to those being and the ideal of becoming more-or equaling them in thier status is farfetched, even seen as evil or against that greater being. Each has opposite ends of the spectrum;Good-Evil, and each being is seen as supreme but Good is always regarded as much more powerful. The saying '' Good always win.'' The term cheaters never prosper can be related to that. A cheater is bad- while one who does not cheat is seen as Good. But these ideals were developed over time, they werent there to begin with. If you put the thought into it and don't use basic religion as your barrier on ideals and process. The entier ideal of God/God(s)/Goddess was formed off the early humans want for a greater understanding of what happens around them. For a state of comfort and understanding , the ideals were formed and thought upon. Tribes and Villages - It can been seen in modern day cultures. You have Western Thoughts and you have Eastern. Most of Asia (if i'm correct) has beliefs in Buddism , while England and such had Christ and God. As the original settlers came to america, the English beliefs expanded into what we have today. What im saying is- You have to large cultures,both beleiving in all faith that there religion is right, and correct. One is just more aggressive with its beleifs and feels it is the ultimate, or correct one. But both are formed around the same ideals , ( if you take the time out to look) each one dwells on an ultimate being-rather it be threw teachings or rather worship. Each has some hopes of acheiving utopia threw its ways. Eh, i don't want to type more so i'll try and close... The point is, God is nothing more than a mere ideal formed one day by one man who ped his thoughts on to another who then ped his thoughts on to more. Then those thoughts were spread, each human- keep what thoughts he/she belived to be correct and ped them on.As one expected what it beliefed to be right, the other did the same. It continued in this pattern till they felt, as a race they were comfortable with what they knew and it was without a doubt Right. It continues to this day and will either change and become more or cease and stop were it rest. Point is- in the beginning of rational thought and developing intellegence;was there a God? An ultimate Utopia? A higher being? And to even say '' Well God left and didn't leave a trace'' Is a thought placed in the mind by the acilation and evolution of one man's thought. Is that man no more right than the other? Or is everything we know now a basic act of a race in fear? or just wanitng a blanket to hide under called '' God ''? *** I left out some things. Mind You***
