"God, made in Man's image"
Humans created a higher being for two primary reasons-
1. To explain the inexplicable. Back when human understanding of the world around us was very limited, we happily subscribed to anyone who promised answers.
2. Comfort. Knowing that death leads to an eternity in Heaven. Knowing that your loved ones aren't actually gone when they die. Knowing that bad people get what they deserve. Knowing that everyone is responsible to a higher power. etc
I don't believe in a God, and I think that organized Religion is a plague on the human race.
