If God created the universe, who created God? · Religion Forum

The christian-judeo/muslim concept of God does not exist. He/She/It is a concept created by man to explain things that could not be explained before the advent of scientific research. And even with scientific research, we have yet to breach the birth canal of knowledge to fully understand what thoughts, ideas, or knowledge we do have.
And our belief in God is a thought ingrained into our minds from those that wish to control the masses throughout the ages. So the beginning of God is that spark of imagination from some person who first thought it.

I mostly agree, but I have read studies done about religion in communist countries. It seems that regardless of how isolated a community is, and how nonreligious it is keep, the people will make up religions. This information suggests that there is something in our makeup that leads naturally to the formation of religions. I believe that in many ways the UFO cult is this mechanism at work. This does not support any idea about rather there is a god or not, just that religion is part of the human animal makeup.

The God I talk about does not need, and is everything, good and evil.

There is nosuch thing as 'the' universe because theres a universe inside every brain, eachwith a different perception. The electrical path of a single thought can now be tracked by the latest scanning technology, and what we believe dictates which path is taken.

the objective world does not exist, at least not in the
way we are accustomed to believing. What is 'out there' is a vast ocean of waves and frequencies and reality looks concrete to us only because our brains are able to take this holographic blur and convert it into sticks and stones and other familiar objects that make up our world ...
'... In other words, the smoothness of a piece of fine china and the feel of beach sand beneath our feet are really just elaborate versions of the phantom limb syndrome [when amputees "feel" a limb long after it has been removed]. 'According to Pribram, this does not mean there aren't china cups and grains of beach sand out there. It simply means that a china cup has two very different aspects to its reality. When it is filtered through the lens of our brains it manifests as a cup. But if we could get rid of our lenses, we'd experience it as an interference pattern. Which is real
and which is illusion? "Both are real to me," says Pribram, "or, if you want to say, neither of them are real."'

We cannot perceive, even with technology, at least 95 per cent of the mass in the universe known as dark energy and matter, and what we 'see' with our eyes is a minuscule fraction of what exists.

• 95 per cent of the brain's activity does not relate to the waking state or 'physical reality'.
• Scientists call some 95 to 97 per cent of DNA 'junk DNA' because they don't know what it does.
Now, the figures may be approximate, but do you think it could just be that this 95 per cent or so of 'junk' DNA, and 95 per cent of brain activity not involved with the wakrng state, could relate to the 95 per cent (plus) of energy/matter that we can't perceive? And that it could be connecting us to levels of awareness that operate outside the realm of visible electromagnetic light,

it's all an illusion It is an apparent contradiction that the earth and the cosmos was supposed to have been created by a loving God and yet what we call Nature is a bloody battle-ground in which one animal's survival is dependent on another's, often grotesque, demise.

The 'universe' was a figment of our conditioned imagination, it was only part of our reality because we believed it was. The universe was also far smaller than people perceived even within our illusion of space and distance. 'Look at the sky in a planetarium and it seems so vast, yet it only goes as high as the ceiling.'

You are a little off base. The world we understand is an illusion, but there is a real world. If you think the real word does not exist, then you do not exist.

What are you talking about? What do you mean by "perhaps you should read more into it"?
