Religion = a system of beliefs. Man Formed his beliefs based on experiences or what they have believed that G-d,Goddess, etc. has instructed them to do as in living a good life, or the right way. And from culture to culture tradition to tradition. Religion has developed differently from what they understood and knew, as well as what their culture sees as right or wrong or knew, or were experienced in. So G-d made man, Man formed their system of beliefs based on what they believed or seen of G-d, or any other experiences. - DNatureofDTrain

God created man, and he wanted man to know that he indeed created him and wants to have a spiritual relation with him. But man created many and many religions, now focussing on which one could be that God who created man?

As there r many man made religions, ppl r completing following what fits them best or what they r born into...the true God should be identified, and acknowledged. And that can be possible by knowing what God is and what Gods qualities really can be.

You're right, He wants man to acknowledge that He created us. There are also many man made religions and many religions that have been corrupted over the years. I'd like to know what you mean by "which one could be that God"?

It is true that there are ppl following what suits them best, but they only deceive themselves. They want God to fit there schedule. But even if you're born into a religion, there will come a time when you start questioning it, studying other religions etc. At the end of this, hopefully you choose the correct one. You can never know what God is as we can't comprehend him, but you can only know his qualities and this is made easier for us by the scholars.

Both God and religion is the creation of human beings.If God is really exiting there is no shape or religion for that God.It is an invisible force controlling all our day to day activities.Religion is not created by God.I think it is the religion creating all problem in the entire world.

Who created us? how did we come into existence? How cold we be alive out of nothing? Scientists have proof that the universe came into existence from a big bang, before that there was nothing. How can we be the end result of nothing. Such complex creatures. How could nothing ( just empty space) just explode and suddenly hot matter started fying out of nowhere in all directions at lighting fast speeds and really hot temperatures. There are mathematicians ( one from the university of adelaide) that say the probablity of the world coming into existence as it did is 0.00 followed by another 120 zeros. That is impossible. They even admit the only explanation is a supreme designer. God has also given us willpower. So we do have control of how we live our lives. You can't say he controls all our day to day activities. He can but he has blessed us with a brain to lead our lives the way we choose. Of course, there is a right way to live as he has communicated with the Prophets how He wants us to live. Religion is not the reason for all the problems, without religion you'd still have these problems. The problems are the individuals. God didn't create us to just watch us and be amused.

To: isme78 The topic is "Who created religion" you have strayed from the topic and began your comment with a question. Are you trying to confuse the issue?

It looks like efc872's mind is already at ease and is set at Man created religion.

Listen, It was God that created religion. He communicated through his special servants, and they passed on the message truthfully to humanity. Man has also created false religions and are still creating them. They are all false and mainly created for their own benefit.

The trouble with your theory is very simple, God had to created you to confirm that religion came through his special servants. Think about this - God doesn't need religion, we do.

I believe that Religion is a set of beliefs and practices design by man to worship his God. Sorry, I am not going to listen to you or His special servants.

Obviously God does not need us nor religion. God does not need anything. But God created us so that we could know him, he is all merciful and it is a mercy to us that he created us. He created us for our own benefit not His.

The original religion was created by one God Almighty,who sent about 124000 prophets to this earth to preach this religion,which was based on Monotheism,Prophethood and the Belief in the Day of Judgement.Religious people who came after these prophets changed the real basics of the original religion for their selfish aims and made many religions at their own.The last divine book tells us about this fact.

They were just ordinary men like us at first. They were born as normal humans. But they were selected by God to deliver the message.

Man created religion. Thus, religion has the same fallacies and imperfections as those who created it.
