Does it seem egotistical that God created us in his own image with the only real reason we are given for living is to worship him?

I’ve heard comparisons between id/ego/superego and father/son/holyghost. hope that helps.

well to answer that question you have to look at the where we get our information about god. who wrote the information and how long ago? ever heard of the game chinese whispers? if god loves ALL his children then how come he didn’t go to Australia or America and save them? could he only have one son? i think the people who created the religion are the egocentrics.

What IMAGE of God are you created in? You think God looks like you? God looks like me? God looks like the picture Michelangelo painted on the Sistine Chapel? What image?

To me that image is that of “creator”. We, as mankind, create on a daily (heck hourly) basis. God did not create us to worship, he created us to create. It is how we create that is our worship to her.

One of the key points when being a follower of Jesus is that we were asked to spread the gospel, if Jesus visited every place on the earth then there would be no need for us to tell others about Jesus. The bible was written by man but inspired by God, and as it still the number 1 selling book in the world i think thats a sign that his word can reach all people no matter where you are.
