It was once said, if god didn’t exist man would have invented him. It seams quite clear now, given today’s society and the knowledge we have scientifically and socially, that we did invent him.
Even religious leaders know that encoraging people to think for themselves will lead to doubt in the mind of the believer. Martin Luther said “reason is the enemy of faith” making it clear he knew the thinking man would rightly question gods existance.
Have the courage to think for yourself and not be led blindly into unprooven faith.
For a clear example of honest thinking check out Richard Dawkins for the truth of reasonable thought.

I like your thinking. It really is true that, “god was created in man’s image, man was not created in god’s image”

Hey, I am a Christian and a THINKING one!!
And on reading your entry and thinking about it, I’m sorry, but I cannot agree with what you say.
But I don’t believe in blind faith either. God has given us a brain, and He does expect us to use it.
I would love for you to read my last two blog entries, and would welcome your comments!
Thanks!
