Religion was indeed created by man. Religion is nothing more than a means to control a large population. When I stopped believing in the Word of God, I simply looked at the so called Holy Men of God. So many priests are accused and convicted of SA against kids. They know about Heaven and Hell, they teach it to us Common-folk, but yet, these monsters are doing illicit deeds for decades. That fact in and of itself tells me all that I need to know about Religion. It's nothing but a fairy-tale, and has been used to control people's minds for millennia. Because the fear of eternally rotting in torture forever is a powerful motivator, isn't it. Until you realize that time doesn't actually exist outside of this three-dimensional construct we call Life.
