I've already written about it on a Hungarian religious blog, jezsuita.blog.hu. Too bad it's in Hungarian. <BR/><BR/>I might go to this conference, it seems that I'm free that day:)Csiki Attila-Józsefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16263200006777516849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-36772898896819986542009-02-13T21:50:00.000+00:002009-02-13T21:50:00.000+00:00There is one suggestion that lends itself to relig...There is one suggestion that lends itself to religious gods being fictions and that is the fact that they nearly always appear to have human psychological profiles e.g. they think about sexual relations, justice, revenge, obedience etc.<BR/><BR/>Further, such traits are evolved adaptations or offshoots of adaptations in humans. [Dog gods would have different traits, not so much the all seeing eye but the all smelling nose]. So gods have acquired psychological traits that are the result of evolution in humans rather than another species. <BR/><BR/>But hang on - gods are meant to be immaterial beings, some of which are thought to have existed forever, none are mean to the result of evolution. <BR/><BR/>So how do we reconcile non-evolved gods have evolved psychological traits??? Ah, I see, it all makes sense once we understand that they are the projections of human minds.Julian Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766191169973968594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-5605389060093331852009-02-12T10:21:00.000+00:002009-02-12T10:21:00.000+00:00Trav - I don't think any of these guys is suggesti...Trav - I don't think any of these guys is suggesting this is evidence God doesn't exist.

It's compatible with the theory that A. God does exist. and its also compatible with the theory that B. God is an idea which has evolved into our brains. <BR/><BR/>If anything, I'd say it lends itself just as much to the first alternative and maybe even moreso than the second.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
