[Sebatianos]

Why not just create our own religion with ideas that make sense to us and feel good to us?

But just take a look at the good in the bible.
God was killing people in the old testament and helping armies kill their enemies, and giving plague to people...
Next there comes Jesus (the son of GOD - or in chatolic churc - GOD-Jesus-The Holy Ghost are one and the same - holy trinity) and tells everybody to start forgiving and not to fight because those who live by the sword will die by the sword...
Doesn't go well together with a GOD who killed tousands of people...

Also you said the magicsentance - why not create a new religion that fits us. That's exactly what they did. If people wouldn't start following Jesus christianity wouldn't be born - so they created their own religion - because it was suiting them. Why should some middle east guys from 2000 years ago be the only ones with that privilage (well there were Jews before them and Muslims after them that also had that privilage - yet all of that is at leats 14 centuries old).

Then again - why create a religion at all? I'm an atheist. I know a lot about christianity in particular, but I'm not ignorat of other religions either - yet I chose not to have religion and I deny the existance of a supreme being controling us and giving us rules.
We must make our own rules and take responsibility for them.
