what's wrong, or inauthentic, about being man-made?
- ketzo 6y agoMan-made is relatable. It’s understandable. It’s comprehensible. All things that the universe, when considered in its entirety, could never be.
- carleverett 6y agoGod was supposed to have created men not the other way around.
- names_are_hard 6y agoNothing, but I suspect your concept of "religion" is not the same as the parent's. Some people think of religion is a valuable tool humans invented to help them govern their lives . To others, religion is a doctrine that teaches ostensibly facts about the nature of the universe. Typically these facts lead to conclusions such as "humans SHOULD do x, MUST NOT do y", etc. Two completely different concepts, one word. So it's a bit confusing. But for someone discussing the second type of religion, saying it's "man-made" is definitely a knockout punch.
- leadingthenet 6y agoIt's hypocrisy to claim that religion X is divine revelation only to turn out to be man-made. I don't think there's anything wrong with religions that acknowledge (and even embrace) the man-made aspect.
