Watching Deepak Chopra on Night line, made me question myself, did god create me or I created god?


Being a student of Evolutionary theory, did I create god for my own selfishness, wanted to create gods and devils so that I can manupulate my reasoning? am I that weak that I create fictitious characters to reason myself for my daily activities? Did my concept go so far that it created religions and wars and made myself the devil? while always trying to be god?

Deepak Chopra has a book titled “How To Know God”. After
reading a few chapters, I concluded that the honest title would have been “How
To Invent God”.





Anyway, Chopra is of the opinion that humans are hardwired
to know God. As you might guess, I think that what he actually meant is that
human mind is hardwired to ‘invent’ God.





And I think it is true.





God in a form of a powerful (not necessarily omnipotent) invisible
person who can be your safety-net is very easy to follow how it could be
hardwired in human.





So yes, Bathroom Guruji, even if nobody tells a child
about God ever, this child, after encountering too many fears and insecurities
than he/she can handle, at one point or another of his/her life, is going to
imagine and most likely (unless somebody interferes) start to hope/believe in
an invisible and powerful person who is also pleasable and can provide you with
security. And there will be a distinct name for it which can be translated into
the word ‘God’.

Ar es,





If you are a skeptic, you are not going to enjoy the book.





If  you are a man of
faith, you don’t need to read the book.





You must be an appreciator of, let’s say, the art of
linguistic illusion
to enjoy Chopra’s this particular book or any book in
general, perhaps.

There is something out there which cannot be scientifically or logically explained, but that does not mean it is GOD as we know it. All of organised Religion is man made.  The truth is out there, and may the force be with you to help find it Nepe.

No, No, Bathroom, I am myself not in the quest. My point was limited to speculate how the primitive notion of God might arise naturally in an ever safety seeking natural man’s mind.


As for the modern notions of God and the organized religions, I probably share your caution and skepticism.


However, I tend to believe that a limited and harmless space for religion would be beneficial to the society. Just a pragmatic contemplation, it has nothing to do with faith per se.


I have slightly elaborated my view on the issue of faith here:


Thread: I Don’t Believe in God


http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/OpenThread.cfm?forum=2&ThreadID=65834


I have talked about uneradicability religion/faith, a compartmentalization of logic and faith as a means for them to co-exist peacefully and a point for letting the vast insecure and helpless humanity it’s cheap peace of mind and security.


Until our society advances and prospers enough to provide every man all the security and answers, it does not make sense to close down the religion. Kind of my defense for religion. But I totally agree that religion should accept thy limit.


Have a fun weekend !

Let me drop some of my words too.

I think we created gods. Let's take an example, Buddha, he was born as a normal man, but the followers treat him as a god and gave a place of god.

Osho, he was a normal philosopher, the followers of Osho always tell him Bhagwan Rajnish. This is how he became god.

So, I think it is us people, who made the god, not the god made us.

there has to be a starting point for everything. if you want to call the origin of the whole cosmos as a god, you well may. however, if you humanize god (which ain't abnormal as we see others the way we are), then you could be wrong.

like somebody was saying earlier: there has been no proof of his existence. while there is natural law and order that governs everything around us, the existence and involvement of the direct 'hand' of god, from my viewpoint, is quite questionable.

I created god, when I was selfish, control freak, arrogant and the list goes on.............

God created me, when I am none of the above.

If u can solve the mystery of Universe .. U will see god .. Which is nothing but a power that is holding us together ..it is WE.. YOU and ME..
There is no god nor human ..There is nothing ..it is all illusion.

God did not create us because There is nothing called GOD .. We are self god .. Energy . We can create our self and destroy our self and this process continues forever .. why forever .. because there is nothing ,nothing at all ..
So there is no starting and there is no ending ..

Everything has a beginning and an end.

Except for sausages. A sausage has two ends.

Neither did God create you nor did you create God. In the beginning, there was Chuck Norris and he created us all

Good question. Define how you understand 'God'. That could lead you to an answer.

मानब सभ्यता सुरुभए पछी प्राकृतिक सक्तिको बारेमा अज्ञान भएर तिनिहरु बाट  कसरी मुक्ती पाईन्छ भनी आफ्नो आफ्नो तरिकाले पूजा आजा , आराधाना गरने प्रथा सबै सभ्याता ले सुरुगरे, तेस्को न्वारान त गर्नै पर्‍यो र भगवान भनियो , तेसैले मेरो छुद्र मस्तिस्क ले भन्छ , मानबले श्रीजना गरेको हो भङवान .
