[Ubuntu-PH] The God Effect

[Allan E. Registos]

/Some anthropologists argue that the idea of God first arose in larger 
societies, for the purpose of curbing selfishness and promoting 
cooperation./

There are some religions that does not adhere to "love your neighbor as 
yourself" theology and are destructive/dangerous religions.  Unless 
these anthropologists were talking to atheists(obviously, and it must 
be), the idea they presented makes no sense. There are people who claim 
"And man created God in his own image" instead of the reverse. Is this 
about the philosophy of religion? If so, may I refer the works of this 
person to anyone interested:

/PS.There are so many great Christian thinkers who have written books to 
defend Christianity, and I would recommend anyone to read them if you 
doubt the Christian faith before stumbling into the new world of 
secularism and atheism../
