| Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics? |

Man never 'made' the rivers, trees, etc. Why should man conclude he is god? He's more likely to objectify himself as a larger more perfect and invisible version of himself in order to create nature...God in man's image.

Level up: 13%, 34 Points needed | | I respectfully disagree. Romans tells us that all of creation points to God. The reverse idea is that everything in creation just happened due to chance. One states that their is a God, but that knoweledge is from God, pointing toward Himself, the other that we are god. Thank you for your reply, I wish that I could continue this discussion, however I must logg off for the day, perhaps tomorrow? | |

So you said man is god....but all of creation points to a god separate from man (as a creator of man)? I'm really not getting what you're trying to convey.
