Religion is man made. God is god sent.

Man-made:
• to explain the unexplainable
• to pay homage to great men
• to assist in controlling the masses
• to calm fears of death

Man-made. Religion provided many positive benefits while humanity was “growing up” into where we are now. For more reading, please look into Richard Dawkins The God Delusion.

I always thought the bible and the 10 commandments were just common sense things, put in a nice book and sold to the masses.

Man-made, I think it’s self-evident.

@dynamicduo Awesome book, I was going to suggest that myself. :)

Religion is definitely man-made.

Religion is man-made. God is not.

Yep, man made. Maybe God did ask us to worship him, but we came up with the ‘how’ all by ourselves.

Religion is man made around the teachings of prophets who connect with God’s wisdom.

All religion is man made. Even if God exists (I’m an agnostic), he didn’t invent religion.
