You have it the wrong way round; humans invented god.
Can you not just leave it out for a bit? It’s irritating now.
This is Lemmy. You cannot go 5 posts without someone acting like a 2007 edgy internet atheist. I assume this is where they all ended up.

I can! But it’s often like I can’t say “God love him” without some self-assured milksop craning his neck to tell me God can’t love him because God doesn’t exist.
I can’t go too far either without seeing a sign saying smoking kills or drunk driving is something you shouldn’t do.
It’s edgy for someone to be atheist?
I thought we’d snuffed this shite-arse logic out with “toxic masculinity”? They said “acting like a 2007 edgy internet atheist”, not “being atheist, which makes them edgy”.
Literally all they did was suggest the opposite scenario. What exactly is edgy about it? It’s the atheism being taken issue with clearly, there’s no internet edgy about it. If that is edgy, then it basically says “anyone who disagrees with me is 2007 internet edgy.”
I don’t know, ask them yourself?
If billions of people believed Santa Claus existed, and forced their beliefs on other people, wouldn’t you get sick of it?
Religion has killed many millions of people, standing up and calling it out for it’s lies and nonsense is the right thing to do.
Christianity hasn’t killed people. People who would have killed people anyway taking parts of Christian scripture out of context has killed people. By that logic, scientific studies have killed people due to eugenics. Should that mean that we should ban the study of science or even genetics? Absolutely not!
What do you categorise as “forcing their beliefs on other people”?
I wonder what the hundreds of thousands burned alive for not being Christian would say to your comment.
See, I could reply to this with “nothing, because there’s no afterlife”. That’s what’s irritating: taking figures of speech or offhand comments based on this old idea of God and opting to be a humourless little twerp about them.
Where does the Bible say to burn people alive for not being Christian?
‘one of these days, boris, we’re going to look into our microsocopes and find ourselves staring into gods eyes and the first one who blinks is going to lose his testicles’
How do you define god
import god
It’s just a namespace
Tolkien called this idea “sub-creation,” suggesting that only God could create, in the complete sense of the word. But that humans, being made in God’s image, would by their nature strive to create. Anything we create uses what God gave us and would therefore be a lesser order of creation, thus sub-creation.

A step further and we can see the hubris in some religious ideas about not using manmade stuff because we’re “playing god”. If God didn’t want us to have it, we wouldn’t have it. That cancer treatment or dialysis is god sending you the help you prayed for.
Is he holding a christingle or sputnik?
At some point God might say “I don’t know if I can make it better than this, but I’ll give it a try if you’ll help me out.”
You think the guy that made open ai made everything it’ll come up with?
If the open AI guy made the training data, the hardware, and every electron, then yes.
What? Most religious dogma is predicated upon free will, meaning we are capable of rearranging things according to our own machinations.
It would be like bacteria in a petri dish reorganising and reproducing, but it’s still creation in a sense separated from the creator.

But We are not making a pie from scratch, We are making it from basic building blocks of universe.
Also in this meme human and God are equal and this isn’t true. Humans are in itself creation of God.
So God provides being and materials for us to create stuff with.
If God exists, and God owns everything, does that mean that I’m shitting God’s pants?
