[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't know if you've noticed, but most gods in the great majority of religions, are violent and irrational creatures. It's only recently that human beings have developed this concept of the loving God, and that ethics and decency should be godly attributes. Most of the old gods were modeled on the worst of human behavior, because humans thought that given supernatural powers, obviously they would just take what they wanted without fear of consequences. I believe it's only economic stability and a sense of security that makes humans believe in fair and gentle gods. In centuries of abject ignorance, disease, constant fights and the struggle to survive, gods are going to be pretty vengeful. Essentially the pantheons reflect the state of societies that create them.[/quote] Exactly. Or as someone (Mark Twain?) said, "God created man, and he's been trying to return the favor ever since."[/quote]
