Hi all, long time no visit for me, exams getting in the way again.
On the topic of worship, what if we throw in the concept ( insert usual my opinion only disclaimer) that God in the sense of the entity, not true divine energy (Ain Soph if you swing that way), is a creation of man, not the creator. Just like every other god in history, God (note capital) started life as a thought form, and God became a god due to its thought form being worshiped to such an extent. Perhaps God's partial conformity as an entity to a divine archetype - or a divine blue print that has to exist grants the entity divine energy. But who can really tell? So perhaps we make our god's, just like a magical thought form but on a much bigger scale. It could be argued that God made a lot of big stuff happen before it became mass worshiped, but you have to look at the reliability of the source of this information. Worship makes something we made stronger, but why is it so popular? Not trying to ruffle any feathers just offer another opinion.
best regards
