In reply to: QUITTNER 's message, "Re; Why morals will always be around without the Christian God" on 07/23/02 12:31pm

In an earlier post you said this ..

from QUITTNER: And if it is true that God has inspired writers in the past, then it is also true that God has inspired many writers ever since. That means that all parts authored by God of all "holy" writings may not only be quite out of date, but may be obsolete and superseded by more recent material by God that must not be ignored.

>>> this makes me think you are a religious individual ... but in this more recent post you said this...

from QUITTNER: But they had a need of some kind of governments and natural phenomena like lightning, growth of babies etc. were "explained" in terms of some kind of deity (different groups invented different deities).

.....but the percentage of GOOD people in a given group could very likely be increased by suitable reward/punishment systems and their supporting stories/literature.

>>> pardon my ignorance, but the above selections seem to explain how man might create god and thus stand in opposition to the first bit you wrote?

...or have I lost the plot?
