Let's first answer this question so we can try on the "who created God" thing.

Let me leave you with this question: Ever wonder why so many atheist are so concerned with debunking Jesus more than any other Historical figure?
(sneer snipped) the answer to the question you ask should be obvious. Yours is the dominant religion in the west, and is intrusive in the lives of those who don't share it.
If Christians just kept their religion private, few would care about whether or not there was a historical Jesus, or who he was. But they don't.
Blue laws are still on the books, evangelicals keep trying to sneak prayer and religion into the public schools and plaster the 10 commandments all over public buildings. Drugs are illegal for religious reasons, as is prostitution, gambling, etc. Christians try to pass laws to regulate what adults do in their bedrooms, or to limit the legal rights of nontraditional relationships.

Saint4god I just have to ask you this question.

Why do you choose to be close to a God that will condemn you to hell if you do not bow down and beg his forgiveness for every wrong breath you take?

Why do you want to be close to this God that supposedly loves you "unconditionally", but is nothing but an egomaniac?
Originally posted by zenlover28
(Yes, I can say this because I don't tend to place the worst traits of humankind on my God). You do this because you are afraid you will burn in hell for all of eternity, right?

Are any Christians motives pure? I'm not so sure.

I can't be made to believe that God (if there even is a God) is jealous, vengeful and bitter (sounds like the devil to me).

To me....this is the conspiracy. It's a conspiracy allright. A conspiracy into scaring the crap out of all of us so that we will do the right thing in society. It's served it's purpose....it is no longer needed. We know the rules to live by and can certainly instill those things into our children without this Book.
Religion is the root of all evil. Many innocent men, women and children have died because of it. It's sad and I personally believe it is shameful.

If a person doesn't believe in God, give me the reason why, don't insult and accuse what you can't understand, give me the support for "why" you personally cannot (and I do me personally) accept the concept that there is God.
Originally posted by zenlover28
That is ridiculous and a very poor example of why someone should take the leap of faith to believe in God. To have eternal life? Sounds like a motive to me.

The First Logos is the Father, Brahma. The Second Logos is the Son, Vishnu. The Third Logos is the Holy Spirit, Shiva. One who incarnates the Logos becomes a Logos.
Originally posted by saint4God
I'm not finding Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in my Bible, can you point out where they are?
Originally posted by AkashicWanderer
These words are not found in the bible. The concepts which they represent however, are.
This is the reason that these words were included in the definition. To show that the concepts such as the "Word of God" and the "Trinity" are inclusive of many religious systems and faiths.
