We love to spoil everything, to make wars, kill, rape, see other creatures suffering. We need it in our life. And we do kill for fun, it gives us so much pleasure, to see the pain...We cannot live without it. There are exceptions, of course, but not many, I believe. Have u ever seen an animal hunting just for fun? I don't think so... God? We need God not to kill each other. We need a moral backbone, let's say. So, we need someone... We need a kind of probation, I'd say. "Don't do it, or U will go to hell", they're telling us all the time - and we are good, because we do not want to go there. We love to think about our salvation. If we had no vision of God... ALL-IN WRESTLING. And this terrible fear of death...that's why we need good and merciful God too.There is no GOD in my opinion. We did create a God. Why? Because we are bad, but sometimes we want to be good when the whole evil of the world ( our own evil ) suppose to be too big for us...
When you say men created God in order not to be evil, how are you able to tell what is evil and what is not. On what ground can you say that men is evil? Enjoying the suffering of others would only be a way of the 'survival of the fittest'? Wouldn't Nietzsche be right when he said that to be truly free is to create your own values? (Interpretation) And that would (in my opinion) not be ethical, but just practical.
