God's Emotions 6.
Do people think I am crabby? Or insecure? Or jealous? Do they think I am easily pleased? Happy? Contented? One way to tell would be to ask them. Another would be to watch how they interact with me. Christians spend a lot of time interacting with God, or at least attempting to. We may not be able to tell what is happening on God's side of the conversation (that is highly contested), but we know a good deal about the human half. How humans attempt to approach, influence or simply relate to God tells us about how they perceive him.

The writers of the Bible provide pages and pages of advice on how to ...

    @TrustingDoubt

    The God's Emotion's series is the most original look at the very human origins of most of the religions that prevail (and plague) our modern world.

    I have seen countless videos regarding contradictions in the Bible and Koran, but the psychology behind these old manuscripts reveal a great deal about the psyche of its authors

    In fact had I seen this video series back when I was still a believer, it wouldn't have required reading the whole Bible and Koran to reject religion!

    Guerrilla prayer :-) Let us celebrate the expansion into the sceptical dimension of beliefs & rejoice to allow our imagination to continue the great tradition of testing all things 1 Cor 2v17 Also 2 Thess 5v21 Test everything, hold onto the good, avoid every kind of evil. John 16v13 be guided into all truth. Matt 7v5 first take the cross out of your eye 1 cor 13v12 that you might no longer see through a glass darkly. But only accept ideas that make sense, not because others assert them Gods

    The essence of spiritual wisdom requires gleaning from those old texts that which is worth keeping and discarding the rest. You go!

    However, imagine a world where everyone thought it was almost certain that everyone went to a happy afterlife, a super holiday in a nice new world. This world might be no more safe. Would those in suffering or financial ruin have little hesitation to throw themselves off cliffs like lemmings? Or be quicker to agree to assisted suicide, abortion? Would there be reduced qualms about murder ? Maybe a hint of hell helps to balance the picture & cause 2nd thought before offending. A useful myth ?

    Your idea that myths can be useful is an interesting one. Evolutionary biologist Susan Blackwell has come to believe-based on evidence-that religion is adaptive from an evolutionary standpoint because religions imbed memes to increase birthweight. Of course, as competitive breeding becomes harmful to our species it pits an individual's selfish genes against the wellbeing of society. In otherwords, like behaviors that religions call sin, it is adaptive and immoral at the same time.

    doesn't it show that yahweh is an egotistical ass whose only motivation to create a world and humans deliberately weaker than him - yet still in his image - when he had little to no reason to was that he wanted to have people looking like him praise him for creating them?

    what a tyrannical spoiled brat!

    Please look at Tarico's Confirmation Bias video. Try and be open to the points she makes and specially think hard if those points apply to you. Many apply to me and make me feel uncomfortable.

    Your understanding of the Islamic concept of worship is not entirely accurate - God is not in need of our worship, adoration or praise of Him. These ideas may stem from other faiths, especially christianity as you had that background but they cannot be transferred to Islam as that is inaccurate and therefore misleading.

    So . . my personality. . can predict the future? God has told me many things about my life years in advance. All have come true. I've sat in God's lap. So . . . you will never be able to talk me into believing anything about your ideals.

    So. . . how can my thoughts . . . predict the actual events in my life in the future and be correct? Only God knows the future . . . not biology . . . not logic.

    Everything was different except that you were told and believed that there was a god/supernatural. Your personal experience was just reconciling what you personally feel about the world and what you were told about it. That is a much smaller step than you are trying to make it seem.
