"So God created man in His own image; He created him in the image of God; He created them male and female." Genesis The Sixth Day: Creatures on Land
Call me a skeptic and/or a free thinker but,
Did god create man in his own image or the truth is that Man Created God In His Own Image ?!?!!!?!
"God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth."
Genesis The Sixth Day: Creatures on Land
This is a very big example of the stupidity and superiority complex of Humans proclaiming their own self made superiority on nature.
I agree with both of your points.
ReplyDeleteDue to this reason, the Monotheistic image of GOD, in the western world is vanishing lately. Any incisive and analytic mind looks for the GOD in human form and there is disappointment. There is no glaring eye watching from the top. Faith disappears there.
Concerning, the second point, I must say that the monotheistic view draws boundary at the very outset. Human is made superior than the rest. Hence, human is not integrated with nature but an elite breed that is empowered to subdue nature. That's where the suffering begins.
Hmmm...Saikat about your 2nd pt., can you pls tell that in which religious text is this written because it is very interesting and it matches a lot of religious excerpts :)
