Am I the only person who feels that a god that creates a whole race of people just to worship him (I'll assume god is a him today) would be one of the most vain creatures in the universe?
Just think about it... sitting around one day... hrm... I'm bored... I know... I'll create a world of people in my image so they can appreciate my greatness and let me know how wonderful I am... oh wait... they ate that fruit I was saving for myself... I have to toss them out into the world now to fend for themselves...
Sorry if I'm a bit anti-Christian. It's just that when someone questions the validity of anothers holy book it makes me look at the origin of their holy book. It's said that Jesus worshipped Judaism while he was alive. I don't remember any part of his teachings that told people to worship his image but I can find his likeness all over the place.
Other religions have also been perverted by the people who preach those gospels. In the end it's up to every individual to weigh what they are shown and to find their own faith wherever it may be.
People who have searched for and found their own faith seem to be more content with their lives than other people I have met.

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
