I actually don't think I've ever heard that. But I agree.

He is entitled to his own point of view.

I believe Mark Twain had a similar quote, but phrased better. And it's true. Another quote, I don't remember from who, is: "You know you have created God in your own image when he hates everyone you do."

"...To describe God as a Trinity or entity misses the mark, as does the Biblical “God is a spirit, and should be worshiped like a spirit.” God is the glimmer of benevolent love in our souls and has little to do with our physical appearance. The Ultimate Force is a principle and should be worshiped as principle. On the contrary, we have shaped God in our image and assigned Him a pronoun. This humanizing of God is the reverse of how we ascribe human characteristics to a lowly mouse and call him Mickey. We anthropomorphize God. God is neither he, she, nor it. God is That which is. But, due to the restrictions of our languages and the frame of our reference, some pronoun must be used, so I use the common “He.” The image of God in human form sitting on a throne is a false idol, of the same ilk as a golden calf. A long, white beard, and all the other physical images we create to describe God are simply reference points. Why would a being who can shape the universe with His thoughts need such simple tools as hands? The only way we can create is with our hands, so we imagine God with hands. What man is doing in all these idols is creating an image to which man can personally relate. Could it be that the confusion and strife over the nature of God is caused by syntax, translations, and interpretations? Could the phrase “His image” originally have been “His imagination?”..."

My take on it is that he's a jerk. But I do like Voltaire's comment: "God created man in his own image... and then man returned the favor."

I'm right there with Ludwig. I agree - that whatever god, gods or godesses that have populated our cultures over the millenia are inventions of our own. There may be one out there. There may be a lot of them. Who knows? So far though, our gods have been just too human...

It makes much more sence that way then in the biblical way.

I'd have to know Ludwig a little better to know for sure, but it doesn't necessarily mean he didn't believe in a God, only in man's Biblical perception of God.

That's about right. There is no god outside some peoples' overly fertile imaginations - and there they get to dream one up that fits their bill and fulfills their egos.

I believe that The Sun is the creator of everything on our planet.If you were to strip the body of it's skin, what is left are the same elements that the Sun is made of.We are made in the image of God, Star Dust.

what the hell sort of logic is that? somebodt's pipedream? Genesis 5 says "man is created in adam's image". after adam sinned.

I don't know this Ludwig, but this saying is alive and well in our culture today. The number one "god" that man has made in his own image is...himself. We all like sheep have gone astray, we have turned, everyone of us, to our own way. Jesus likened mankind to sheep, they absolutly NEED a shephard to guide them, to lead them to water, and feed, but mostly to protect them from the many hungry sheep eaters out there in the wide, wild world. I never knew the truth until I realized that I needed a shephard to help me. Let Jesus be your guide, won't you?

1) He's not the author of what is true. 2) Ludwig Feuerbach didn't die for my sins; Jesus did.
