HOW DID PEOPLE COME TO HAVE A GOD? (PART 1)
I believe in god, as the title indicates. I do not, however, believe in the god-image that has been handed down to us for thousands of generations, for this is an image. It is the type of thing that creates doubt. I'll say it again, Myth is the parent of disbelief. If Christianity persists in... Sign in to see full entry.
