Why Does God In Religion Act So Human? by Theawakensoul(op): 9:33am On May 19
๐ŸŒŒ WEEKLY SERIES โ€” DAY 2

WHY DOES GOD IN RELIGION ACT SO HUMAN?

Letโ€™s ask a question most people were never encouraged to think deeply about:

If God is infiniteโ€ฆ
beyond timeโ€ฆ
beyond emotionโ€ฆ
beyond human limitationโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ‘‰ why does God in many religious texts behave so much like ancient human rulers?

Think about it honestly.

Religion often describes God as:
๐Ÿ‘‰ jealous
๐Ÿ‘‰ angry
๐Ÿ‘‰ offended
๐Ÿ‘‰ demanding worship
๐Ÿ‘‰ punishing disobedience
๐Ÿ‘‰ favoring certain tribes
๐Ÿ‘‰ ordering violence
๐Ÿ‘‰ requiring sacrifice

Now pause.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Are these truly divine qualitiesโ€ฆ
or reflections of ancient human psychology?

---

๐ŸŒฟ PART 1 THE GOD OF ANCIENT SOCIETIES

Ancient civilizations were built around:
๐Ÿ‘‰ kings
๐Ÿ‘‰ empires
๐Ÿ‘‰ tribal loyalty
๐Ÿ‘‰ warfare
๐Ÿ‘‰ patriarchy
๐Ÿ‘‰ obedience to authority

The ruler was feared.
The ruler demanded loyalty.
The ruler punished rebellion.
The ruler rewarded submission.

And when people imagined Godโ€ฆ

they often imagined:
๐Ÿ”ฅ a cosmic version of the same ruler.

A heavenly king.

So naturally:
๐Ÿ‘‰ anger became divine wrath
๐Ÿ‘‰ tribal loyalty became โ€œchosen peopleโ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ war became โ€œholy warโ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ obedience became salvation
๐Ÿ‘‰ punishment became eternal judgment

The psychology of human power structures became projected onto the Divine.

---

๐ŸŒฟ PART 2 THE QUESTION OF JEALOUSY

Many scriptures describe God as:
๐Ÿ‘‰ jealous

But think carefully about that.

Jealousy usually comes from:
๐Ÿ‘‰ insecurity
๐Ÿ‘‰ fear of losing control
๐Ÿ‘‰ emotional attachment
๐Ÿ‘‰ ego identity

So why would an infinite being need:
๐Ÿ‘‰ validation?
๐Ÿ‘‰ praise?
๐Ÿ‘‰ exclusive worship?

Would infinity really feel threatened by human beings praying differently?

Or is jealousy a deeply human emotion later projected onto God by ancient cultures trying to protect tribal identity?

Because tribal societies survived through:
๐Ÿ‘‰ loyalty
๐Ÿ‘‰ unity
๐Ÿ‘‰ obedience to one system

And religion became one of the strongest tools for preserving that unity.

---

๐ŸŒฟ PART 3 BLOOD SACRIFICE AND PUNISHMENT

Now letโ€™s go deeper.

Many religious systems taught:
๐Ÿ‘‰ sacrifice
๐Ÿ‘‰ blood offerings
๐Ÿ‘‰ punishment for sin
๐Ÿ‘‰ divine wrath needing satisfaction

But ask yourself honestly:

๐Ÿ”ฅ Why would an all-powerful Source require blood to forgive?

Ancient humans practiced sacrifice long before many organized religions formed.

Why?

Because ancient cultures believed:
๐Ÿ‘‰ the gods needed appeasement
๐Ÿ‘‰ blood carried spiritual power
๐Ÿ‘‰ suffering satisfied divine anger

And over timeโ€ฆ
those same ancient ideas became embedded inside religious systems.

But does infinite consciousness really operate through vengeance and appeasement?

Or were humans interpreting the mystery of existence through the mindset of their era?

---

๐ŸŒฟ PART 4 FAVORITISM AND TRIBAL GODS

Another difficult question:

Why do many religions present God as:
๐Ÿ‘‰ favoring one tribe?
๐Ÿ‘‰ one nation?
๐Ÿ‘‰ one religion?
๐Ÿ‘‰ one chosen group?

History shows ancient societies were extremely tribal.

Every tribe believed:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œour god protects usโ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œour people are chosenโ€
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œour enemies are evilโ€

And suddenlyโ€ฆ
God begins reflecting human tribalism too.

But if Source created all lifeโ€ฆ

would Source truly:
๐Ÿ‘‰ hate entire populations?
๐Ÿ‘‰ divide humanity into favorites?
๐Ÿ‘‰ condemn billions based on geography and culture?

Or does that sound more like human tribal identity projected onto the heavens?

---

๐ŸŒฟ PART 5 THE BIG QUESTION

This does not mean spirituality is fake.

It means humanity may have mixed:
๐Ÿ‘‰ divine mystery
with
๐Ÿ‘‰ human psychology

And maybe many religious descriptions of God tell us as much about ancient human societiesโ€ฆ
as they do about ultimate reality.

Because maybe Source is not:
๐Ÿ‘‰ angry
๐Ÿ‘‰ insecure
๐Ÿ‘‰ tribal
๐Ÿ‘‰ emotionally reactive

Maybe those were human attempts to explain the unknown through the lens of power, fear, survival, and control.

And maybe awakening begins when people stop fearing God as a cosmic rulerโ€ฆ

and start seeking the deeper intelligence behind existence itself.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Because if God is truly infiniteโ€ฆ

why does God in religion behave so much like ancient men?

Drop your thoughts below. Let them come. ๐ŸŒฟ

Do you know what "the letter killeth" actually means?
This is what you usually get when you look at scriptures with your physical eyes, and it is killing. They were never meant to be interpreted that way. We are expected to view it with our spiritual eyes, the eyes of our mind. Our so called third eyes....
The Torah (which is the heart and soul of the Bible) is about rising our consciousness beyond our ego. The wars is between our higher consciousness vs our Ego.
Abraham slaughtering of the kings represent our defeat of the 7 deadly sins. . The Amalikites represent doubt, etc....The Torah was written by Ezra when the Israelites return home from the Babylonian exile..it is not a historical story but a spiritual manual...


Jesus is supposed to be Marduk but he was never on earth., Marduk is the creator of the heavens and the earth according to the Babylonian mythology he is also the son of Enki. It's all deception. The purest form of evil is deception.
There was never any Jesus who was a son of God and walked the earth.
My overall point is that God is consciousness and the scriptures should not be viewed with our physical eyes.

Man is also a consciousness so what exactly do you mean
So if Jesus existed, he is no different from me and you. Worshipping him is tantamount to idolatry. ....
We all all conscious beings, we are all spiritual beings living within a physical body made from dust.
We are all Gods having a human experience in multiple ways....

I don't know what is hard there that you can't understand

That is why God only gave us laws to follow so that we will live in peace amongst ourselves. He never said we should worship anything, if he wanted, he would have told us or given us the mode of worship.

Because we are all Gods, you focus too much on the body and forget what is actually inside or living within it.u

Let me explain to you like you are in primary 6.
God created the heavens and earth and everything that is within it. He saw that everything was good. Then on the last day of creation, he took dust from the earth and molded the statue of a man. He then sent his spirit into it and the statue came to life, made another one and added some judicious features and sent his spirit into it and it also came to life....so God spirit is not living inside the statue. So that spirit can now experience life ...he can enjoy his creation..
That is what each one of us is. We are God's spirit experiencing life in various ways as humans....when our time is up. Our spirit returns to God and becomes one with it and our body is buried and it becomes one with the earth(Ecclesiastes 12:7) so which one needs saving. And you see why I said that death is an illusion. It is just return to default.
So as the human population continues to increase it becomes important for them to live in peace and remind us where we came from hence the Torah, then for those who don't know and don't want to know.....like you. They created religion to control you.

I don't have any religion. Religion is for crowd control.
Spirituality is relationship with the source.
It is aligning with the source. .....stop coming here and tell us about a man that was executed on a cross. The story says he was tried and executed. Does NOT mean anything.

You wrote so much stuff but let's start from the beginning, why do you think God should be beyond emotions?
That's describing a robot.
Thatโ€™s actually an important question.

But notice carefully:
thereโ€™s a difference between:
๐Ÿ‘‰ having awareness
and
๐Ÿ‘‰ having unstable human emotional reactions.

When I question religious descriptions of God, Iโ€™m not saying:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œultimate reality must be a cold robot.โ€

Iโ€™m asking:
๐Ÿ‘‰ why does an infinite being often behave exactly like ancient human rulers?

Because emotions like:
๐Ÿ‘‰ jealousy
๐Ÿ‘‰ rage
๐Ÿ‘‰ vengeance
๐Ÿ‘‰ insecurity
๐Ÿ‘‰ tribal favoritism

usually emerge from:
๐Ÿ‘‰ limitation
๐Ÿ‘‰ ego identity
๐Ÿ‘‰ fear of loss
๐Ÿ‘‰ psychological attachment

For example:
Jealousy normally happens when someone feels:
๐Ÿ‘‰ threatened
๐Ÿ‘‰ possessive
๐Ÿ‘‰ insecure
๐Ÿ‘‰ afraid of losing control

So the question becomes:
Why would an infinite, self-sufficient Source need validation, worship, or exclusive loyalty?

Thatโ€™s not calling God a robot.
Thatโ€™s questioning whether ancient humans projected their own psychology onto the Divine.

And honestly, many mystics across traditions already described the Divine very differently.

Not as emotionally unstableโ€ฆ
but as:
๐Ÿ‘‰ infinite awareness
๐Ÿ‘‰ unconditional presence
๐Ÿ‘‰ intelligence
๐Ÿ‘‰ love beyond ego
๐Ÿ‘‰ stillness behind existence

Even in spirituality, thereโ€™s a difference between:
๐Ÿ‘‰ reactive emotion
and
๐Ÿ‘‰ conscious compassion.

A wise person can love deeply without:
๐Ÿ‘‰ insecurity
๐Ÿ‘‰ possessiveness
๐Ÿ‘‰ violent rage
๐Ÿ‘‰ or tribal hatred

So why assume infinite consciousness would operate at a LOWER level than evolved human consciousness?

Thatโ€™s the deeper question.

And maybe many religious descriptions of God tell us more about:
๐Ÿ‘‰ ancient societies
๐Ÿ‘‰ ancient fears
๐Ÿ‘‰ ancient power structures

than about the true nature of ultimate reality itself.

U

Do you know what "the letter killeth" actually means?
This is what you usually get when you look at scriptures with your physical eyes, and it is killing. They were never meant to be interpreted that way. We are expected to view it with our spiritual eyes, the eyes of our mind. Our so called third eyes....
The Torah (which is the heart and soul of the Bible) is about rising our consciousness beyond our ego. The wars is between our higher consciousness vs our Ego.
Abraham slaughtering of the kings represent our defeat of the 7 deadly sins. . The Amalikites represent doubt, etc....The Torah was written by Ezra when the Israelites return home from the Babylonian exile..it is not a historical story but a spiritual manual...


Jesus is supposed to be Marduk but he was never on earth., Marduk is the creator of the heavens and the earth according to the Babylonian mythology he is also the son of Enki. It's all deception. The purest form of evil is deception.
There was never any Jesus who was a son of God and walked the earth.
My overall point is that God is consciousness and the scriptures should not be viewed with our physical eyes.
You actually raised some interesting points, especially about symbolism, consciousness, and spiritual interpretation.

And I agree with part of what youโ€™re saying:
๐Ÿ‘‰ many spiritual texts DO contain symbolic and psychological layers
๐Ÿ‘‰ inner transformation is a real part of spirituality
๐Ÿ‘‰ and reading everything only literally can miss deeper meanings

For example:
๐Ÿ‘‰ ego
๐Ÿ‘‰ fear
๐Ÿ‘‰ desire
๐Ÿ‘‰ awakening
๐Ÿ‘‰ consciousness

can absolutely be explored through spiritual stories and metaphors.

Even many mystics throughout history interpreted scripture symbolically.

But I think you then jumped from:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œscriptures contain symbolismโ€
to
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œtherefore none of it has historical roots.โ€

And thatโ€™s a very different claim.

Because historically, there is actually strong evidence that:
๐Ÿ‘‰ a Jewish teacher named Yeshua which his name later fabricated to Jesus existed
๐Ÿ‘‰ he lived in 1st-century Judea
๐Ÿ‘‰ he was crucified under Roman authority

Even many non-Christian historians and secular scholars accept that.

Now whether later theology transformed him into something elseโ€ฆ
THAT is where debate begins.

And honestly, I partially agree there too.

Because over centuries:
๐Ÿ‘‰ mythology
๐Ÿ‘‰ empire politics
๐Ÿ‘‰ theology
๐Ÿ‘‰ symbolism
๐Ÿ‘‰ and institutional religion
all became layered onto the original movement.

But saying:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œJesus is literally Mardukโ€
or
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œJesus never existed at allโ€

goes beyond what mainstream historical evidence currently supports.

Now about โ€œthe letter killeth.โ€

I think that verse is often misunderstood.

Paul was speaking about:
๐Ÿ‘‰ rigid legalism without spiritual transformation

not saying:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œhistory doesnโ€™t matterโ€
or
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œeverything is only allegory.โ€

Because once EVERYTHING becomes symbolic onlyโ€ฆ
people can make texts mean absolutely anything.

And then truth becomes impossible to ground.

I do agree with your deeper point though:

๐Ÿ”ฅ consciousness matters.

Spirituality without inner awakening easily becomes:
๐Ÿ‘‰ ritual without transformation
๐Ÿ‘‰ religion without wisdom
๐Ÿ‘‰ belief without awareness

And many people do read sacred texts only externally while missing:
๐Ÿ‘‰ self-knowledge
๐Ÿ‘‰ inner growth
๐Ÿ‘‰ compassion
๐Ÿ‘‰ consciousness
๐Ÿ‘‰ transformation

So I think balance is important.

Not:
๐Ÿ‘‰ blind literalism

But also not:
๐Ÿ‘‰ dismissing all history entirely.

Maybe sacred texts contain BOTH:
๐Ÿ‘‰ historical layers
AND
๐Ÿ‘‰ symbolic psychological meaning.

And perhaps the deeper goal is not worshipping storiesโ€ฆ
but understanding what they were trying to awaken within human consciousness.

Python25to30:
Just watch they would come and side their jesus christ of europe.
๐Ÿ˜‚ I get what you mean.

But honestly, this conversation is bigger than:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œEuropean Jesusโ€
vs
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œMiddle Eastern Jesus.โ€

Because the deeper issue is not race alone.

The real question is:
๐Ÿ‘‰ how religion, empire, culture, and politics shaped the image people now worship.

Historically, Yeshua was:
๐Ÿ‘‰ a Jewish man from the Middle East
๐Ÿ‘‰ living under Roman occupation
๐Ÿ‘‰ speaking Aramaic
๐Ÿ‘‰ teaching within a Jewish cultural context

So yes, over centuries, different cultures reimagined him through their own image:
๐Ÿ‘‰ European art made him European
๐Ÿ‘‰ Ethiopian art made him Ethiopian
๐Ÿ‘‰ Asian depictions made him Asian

Thatโ€™s actually normal human psychology.

People naturally recreate spiritual figures through their own culture and identity.

But the deeper point is this:
many people became more attached to the IMAGE than the MESSAGE.

The conversation should not stop at:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œWas Jesus white?โ€

The bigger question is:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œDid institutional religion reshape the original teachings themselves?โ€

Because changing appearance is one thing.

Changing:
๐Ÿ‘‰ meaning
๐Ÿ‘‰ doctrine
๐Ÿ‘‰ spirituality
๐Ÿ‘‰ consciousness
๐Ÿ‘‰ and the message itself

is much deeper.

And honestly, I think too many people defend inherited religious images emotionallyโ€ฆ
without ever investigating:
๐Ÿ‘‰ history
๐Ÿ‘‰ translation
๐Ÿ‘‰ politics
๐Ÿ‘‰ theology
๐Ÿ‘‰ or how these systems evolved.

Thatโ€™s why questioning matters.

Not to hate religion.
Not to mock believers.

But to separate:
๐Ÿ‘‰ historical reality
from
๐Ÿ‘‰ centuries of cultural construction.

Thatโ€™s actually a fair question.

But notice something carefully:
Historical existence is not proven by:
๐Ÿ‘‰ someone alive today physically saw the person.

If that were the standard, we would have to deny the existence of:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Socrates
๐Ÿ‘‰ Alexander the Great
๐Ÿ‘‰ Julius Caesar
๐Ÿ‘‰ Hannibal
๐Ÿ‘‰ even many ancient African rulers

because none of us alive today saw them either.

History works differently.

Historians examine:
๐Ÿ‘‰ written sources
๐Ÿ‘‰ multiple references
๐Ÿ‘‰ cultural impact
๐Ÿ‘‰ archaeological context
๐Ÿ‘‰ external mentions
๐Ÿ‘‰ timeline consistency

And based on that, the majority of secular historians, including non-Christians and atheists, conclude that:
๐Ÿ‘‰ a Jewish teacher named Yeshua likely existed in 1st-century Judea
๐Ÿ‘‰ he gathered followers
๐Ÿ‘‰ and was crucified under Roman authority.

Nowโ€ฆ
does that automatically prove every miracle claim or church doctrine?

No.

And thatโ€™s where many debates begin.

Because thereโ€™s a difference between:
๐Ÿ‘‰ a historical figure existing
and
๐Ÿ‘‰ later theology built around that figure.

For example:
a man named Siddhartha likely existed historically.

That does not automatically prove every supernatural claim within Buddhism.

Same principle here.

My position is simply:
๐Ÿ‘‰ there is stronger historical evidence for a historical Yeshua than for the claim that he was entirely invented out of nowhere.

But I also agree that:
๐Ÿ‘‰ mythology
๐Ÿ‘‰ symbolism
๐Ÿ‘‰ theology
๐Ÿ‘‰ empire politics
๐Ÿ‘‰ and centuries of interpretation
were later layered onto the movement.

So I try to separate:
๐Ÿ‘‰ the possible historical teacher
from
๐Ÿ‘‰ the institutional religious construct built afterward.

That balance matters.

Because once discussions become:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œeverything is literalโ€
or
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œnothing existed at allโ€

people usually stop investigating carefully and move into extremes.

First you need to admit that you make changes to your phrase.
Initially, you claimed that God is beyond emotions.
Do you still hold to that or have you changed on that?
Fair observation.

And honestly, yes, my wording became more refined as the discussion went deeper.

Initially, I spoke very broadly by saying:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œGod is beyond emotions.โ€

But what I was really trying to point toward is this:
๐Ÿ‘‰ ultimate reality may be beyond reactive, ego-based human emotions.

Thereโ€™s an important difference there.

Because when most people hear โ€œemotion,โ€ they immediately think of:
๐Ÿ‘‰ jealousy
๐Ÿ‘‰ insecurity
๐Ÿ‘‰ possessiveness
๐Ÿ‘‰ rage
๐Ÿ‘‰ vengeance
๐Ÿ‘‰ emotional instability

And my question was:
why would an infinite, self-sufficient Source operate through emotions that in humans usually arise from limitation, fear, ego, or attachment?

Thatโ€™s different from saying:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œultimate reality is cold like a robot.โ€

In fact, many mystics describe the Divine as containing:
๐Ÿ‘‰ compassion
๐Ÿ‘‰ love
๐Ÿ‘‰ peace
๐Ÿ‘‰ intelligence
๐Ÿ‘‰ presence

But not in the reactive psychological way humans often experience emotions.

For example:
a deeply conscious person may express love:
๐Ÿ‘‰ without possessiveness
๐Ÿ‘‰ without insecurity
๐Ÿ‘‰ without violent rage
๐Ÿ‘‰ without tribal hatred

So the refinement I made is this:
I no longer think the better question is:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Does Source have emotions?

But rather:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Are the emotions attributed to God in many religious texts reflections of infinite consciousnessโ€ฆ or reflections of ancient human psychology projected onto the Divine?

Thatโ€™s the deeper inquiry Iโ€™m exploring.

And honestly, I think discussions become healthier when people are free to refine ideas instead of pretending they never evolved their thinking.

sonmvayina:
Jesus failed in all those criterias, in all sincerity. Let's not over flog it
I understand your skepticism honestly.

And to be fair, skepticism is healthy in historical discussions.

But I think saying Yeshua โ€œfailed all those criteriaโ€ may be overstating it a bit.

Because even many secular historians who reject:
๐Ÿ‘‰ miracles
๐Ÿ‘‰ divinity
๐Ÿ‘‰ resurrection claims

still conclude that:
๐Ÿ‘‰ a historical Jewish teacher likely existed behind the movement.

Not because of church doctrineโ€ฆ
but because of cumulative historical indicators.

For example:
๐Ÿ‘‰ multiple early sources discuss him
๐Ÿ‘‰ Paulโ€™s letters appeared relatively early
๐Ÿ‘‰ Roman historians like Tacitus referenced the movement
๐Ÿ‘‰ Josephus mentioned Jesus-related traditions
๐Ÿ‘‰ the movement emerged very rapidly in a specific historical setting
๐Ÿ‘‰ crucifixion under Roman authority fits known Roman practices in Judea

Now of course:
๐Ÿ‘‰ sources are debated
๐Ÿ‘‰ later theology influenced narratives
๐Ÿ‘‰ contradictions exist
๐Ÿ‘‰ and mythologizing likely happened over time

I agree with all of that.

But most historians still separate:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œWas every supernatural claim true?โ€
from
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œDid a historical figure likely exist?โ€

Those are different questions.

For example:
historians may accept that:
๐Ÿ‘‰ Siddhartha Buddha existed historically
without accepting every miracle story attached to Buddhism.

Same principle here.

So my point is not:
๐Ÿ‘‰ โ€œChristianity must therefore be true.โ€

My point is simply:
๐Ÿ‘‰ complete mythicism (โ€œJesus never existed at allโ€) is still a minority position among mainstream historians today.

That doesnโ€™t end the conversation.
It actually begins a more nuanced one.

Because the really fascinating discussion is:
๐Ÿ‘‰ how a possible historical teacher became transformed over centuries into institutional Christianity as we know it today.

Thatโ€™s where history, theology, politics, mythology, and empire all start intersecting.
