You are basing your logic on an out of this realm being. The logic you are useing doesn't apply. You only think this way beucause thats the only way it happens here in our world. With an all-powerful god he needs not a creator because he is all there is. NO laws or logic(as we know it) are needed.

I see alot of people saying that the idea of god and religion arose from peoples insecurity. WEll how in the hell do you know that? Were you there?
Of course you would think its common to be afraid of death and rightfully so. So then they MUST have created their religion to give them hope. Yours and many other speculations on how religion popped up really annoys that crap out of me. Because is base on speculation on how the people felt. One person says it and hey it makes sense, so look what we got, something that religious people can't refute! All we need to say is that religion was invented to comfort us! They can't deny it because they weren't there, but you can't confirm it because YOU weren't there.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
Crap!
Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!
"God" doesn't have to fit "logic", huh?
How verrrrry convenient, I think!
Convenient for the many and varied charlatans and con artists who have used people's fear of "death" and "god" to extract lifelong service and unending moneys for their "salvation".
It just about makes me wanna puke!
The Lie of "god", or The Big Lie as I call it, has been going on since man became aware of his own mortality. And immediately afterwards, there was some "priest" there to take advantage of that fear for his, and "the church"'s own benefit.
Baal, Amun-Ra, Zeus, Rama, Odin.
All of these "gods" were worshipped at one time or another, and each was shown to be "myth".
Now, in our modern days, the "myth" of "god" is yet again on the verge of being dispelled.
To the great fear and trepidation of priests and followers alike.

I say, why do we need "god" anymore?
It IS a vestige of our own primitivity.
A remnant of the days when diseases were "evil spirits" or "demons" and the mentally ill were "possessed".
We have grown beyond this superstitious drivel, both technologically and societally.
The longer we hold on to it, the longer its "sickness" will continue to sicken our society.

Begone, religicos!
Back to the caves with you, if that is what you crave.
We humans of now wish to cross the gulf of stars, and become nearly gods ourselves.
That is the only "godliness" that truly exists anyway.
Our superiority over every other life in the cosmos, bar none.
Till then, we strive, and without an "invisible friend" to hold our hands.
