While watching Tv this morning i flicked over to a channel about muslims. In between making breakfast and sitting down i heard a passage of the quran. It went something like "and nothing shal be born from him ,and nothing shall look like him" It's morning ,im not thinking straight ,so that is far from an exact quote.)

After hearing this i thought. What if god did NOT create the universe or the world or anything else. What if (and this applies to all faiths that believe that god created life existence etc) God was also made by some cosmic fluke like us and as one of the stronger entities decided to act as God.

Or perhaps god is merely some spirit that eventually become worshipped to such a point it extended beyond bounderies and was able to influence worshippers.

Maybe god has no true power amongst those that do not worship him ,and the only reason god wants worship is not so the subjects can go to heaven ,as there is no suc place ,but because god wants personal power.What is we headed back a few centuries to when god was worshipped by mass amounts of people ,perhaps miracles and boons granted from god actualy happened (i know im wondering into the realm of mysticism .. too much fantasy.)

So ... views?

Edit: rephrased something i phrased wrong.

God is by definition the creator. I doubt that anybody would worship a god who has been created by another entity.

Err... well no ,but ive been re4ading fantasy since a young age ... hats just romantic thinking on my part.

But still ,what if god did merely trick everyone into believing he was the creator he speaks to a few faithful (yes i am admitting here that there is a possibilty that the bible may have come from god ,if god exists) the bible is thusly born or the quran or any form of holy book you care to mention .

but the whole cleric WAS a little more than neccesary.....
