[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of God? Why would God create people only if they acknowledge her/his existence and follow her/his teachings? Is that self-serving - to create some creatures only to pass judgment on them if they don't put you first? Why are most religions beneficial to males and place females in the role of being subservient to males? What is the purpose of this? [/quote] There is much more to religion than acknowledging God. Religion is about acknowledging God's rules, not just God the entity. These rules/commands, in turn, are about your behavior towards your fellow humans. Re the roles of men and women, it's important to distinguish between religious texts and the institutions than people -men - subsequently built up around these texts. Many think Jesus had at least one female disciple, for example, and there were women leaders in the earliest churches.[/quote]
