The Idea Of God - Where Did It Come From? by Nobody: 3:27pm On Dec 14, 2016
For millenia, man has observed the natural world. In past times he was left perplexed and bewildered by certain facets which he could not explain immediately and that led him to think outside the box and to ascribe all natural occurences to forces higher than him. God was the ultimatum of what he had deduced from his observations, a conscious causality. Now in our time, there is unlimited access to the ocean of knowledge surrounding us.... TO BE CONTINUED...

What seemed as a bewilderment to the prehistoric man due to his obvious naivete is now known in its workings. But the idea of God or a Creator has been dismissed as part of man's search for the unknown. Now man not only ascribed natural phenomenon to spirits or gods but he also claimed to talk with them. Now the question is, where did the idea of a conscious talking cause come from? Honest answers please.... Not in the mood to post much today...

As your post already implies, the idea of God comes from naivety, perplexity, ignorance, fear and most of all.... hope.

If man had only ascribed natural phenomena to gods, then we can rightly say it's all in his head but he also claimed to talk with them and get a reply. Now what I am asking is this, would man (though naive but with his thinking faculty intact) claim to talk to an abstract concept, what he just guessed as responsible for what puzzled him and still claim that he got a reply physically and not in his mind?

A Form of Talking to God is Through prayers! Though in Reality You are actually Talking To yourself So basically The Reply You are also getting is Also coming from You!

Worshipping the sun makes more sense than creating an imaginary friend.

Human beings have actually regressed in that regard.

Asides prayers. Take for instance in the wilderness, the children of Israel heard Jehovah speak openly... just an example
