Is God Imaginary ~ An Open Minded Theory

The belief in "god" seems to be omnipresent throughout the ages.
We acknowledge, for instance, that the ancient Egyptians believed in their gods so ardently that they constructed colossal structures like the Great Pyramid - still to this day one of the largest and most enduring human constructions ever engineered. Despite that fervor, however, we know with complete certainty today that the Egyptian gods were imaginary. There is no evidence of their existence. Thus we do not build pyramids anymore and we do not mummify our leaders.
More recently we recognize that millions of Romans worshiped Jupiter and his friends, and to them they built magnificent temples. The ruins of these temples are popular tourist attractions even today. Yet we know with complete certainty that these gods were imaginary. There is no evidence for their existence and thus no one worships Zeus any more.
Even more recently, we know that the Aztec civilization believed in their gods so passionately that they constructed huge temples and other worship structures and human sacrifice alters. The Aztecs were so fanatical that they were sacrificing hundreds of people to their gods as recently as the 16th century. Despite the force, however, we know today that these gods were completely imaginary. The Aztecs were insane to be murdering people for their gods. Killing a person has no effect on rainfall or anything else. We all know that now. And there is no evidence whatsoever signifying that the Aztec gods exist. If the Aztec gods were real, we would still be offering sacrifices to them and these sacrifices would be effective.
Today's "God" is just as imaginary as were these bygone gods. The fact that millions of people worship a god is meaningless.
The "God" and the "Jesus" that Christians worship today are actually amalgams formed out of ancient pagan gods. The idea of a "virgin birth", "burial in a rock tomb", "resurrection after 3 days" and "eating of body and drinking of blood" had nothing to do with Jesus. All of the rituals in Christianity are completely man-made. Christianity is a snowball that rolled over a dozen pagan religions. As the snowball grew, it freely attached pagan rituals and beliefs in order to be more palatable to converts. You can find accounts like these in popular literature:
"The vestiges of pagan religion in Christian symbols are undeniable. Egyptian sun disks became the halos of Catholic saints. Pictograms of Isis nursing her miraculously conceived son Horus became the blueprint for our modern images of the Virgin Mary nursing Baby Jesus. And virtually all the elements of the Catholic ritual - the miter, the altar, the doxology, and communion, the act of "God-eating" - were taken directly from previous pagan cryptic religions."

"Nothing in Christianity is unique. The pre-Christian God Mithras - called the Son of God and the Light of the World - was born on December 25, died, was buried in a rock tomb, and then resurrected in three days. By the way, December 25 is also the birthday or Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus. The newborn Krishna was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Even Christianity's weekly holy day was stolen from the pagans."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Christ_in_comparative_mythology) "It has been noted since antiquity, and in modern scholarship since the 19th century, that Jesus Christ has conspicuous parallels to other deities worshipped in Hellenistic religion, explicitly to the cult of Dionysus in the Greek mystery religions and with Buddha.”
It is tremendously problematic for a Christian devotee to process this information due to the entrenched repetitive indoctrinated dogmatic beliefs, but nonetheless it is true. All of the "sacred rituals" of Christianity, and all of Christianity's core beliefs (virgin birth, resurrection, performing miracles) come straight from other religions that were popular around the time of Jesus. Once you understand the central truth of Christianity's origins, the silliness of the whole thing becomes evident. It has happened before and if human nature is anything to go by it will happen again. The only issue is the ever mounting ability of humans to discern fact from fiction.
Clearly the pagan believers, from whom Christianity derived its myths, revered gods that were fantasy. If Gods such as Horus, Ra, Mithras, etc. were real, we would have proof of their existence and everyone would be following those gods. Our "God" and "Jesus" today are simply extensions of these imaginary precursors. Therefore God is imaginary and new religions will continue to be invented as the older ones become obsolete due to the lack of evidence. The advances of science strengthening the desire for logical rational explanations are leaving religions wanting in the obscurity and evidently trying harder to perpetuate fear and conformity to their ways.

“One must state it plainly. Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody—not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms --had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion, and one would like to think—though the connection is not a fully demonstrable one—that this is why they seem so uninterested in sending fellow humans to hell.”


So in the same LIGHT my kind ones:
Black magic practitioners have been either misunderstood or shunned by many for various reasons. However, it is important to understand that black magic draws its practices on assumed malevolent powers. Some people have misused these powers to kill, harm, steal, and cause destruction for personal gain. Not everything to do with this form of magic is malevolent as there are many benevolent factors behind it. It is only used by several practitioners to ward off evil and kill diseases.
The casting of powerful spells by a spell caster is an integral part of black magic. These spells can have the strongest effect when cast in the right way. It derives it power from the Moon which is why love spells are more effective when cast on a full moon or during the waxing phase. Africa is said to be the birthplace and home to the most amount of black magic practitioners. Ancient Egyptians, Persians, and Middle Easterners also widely practiced black magic to dominate their rivals. A spell caster was able to manipulate certain forces of nature through this type of magic. Voodoo dolls were well known accessories used in all forms of black magic.
Black magic can be used positively to help win the heart of a man or woman. These can be powerful spells if they are performed in the right way. It can be used to improve business, to eliminate bad habits, and even by those looking for a decent job. Being a powerful form of magic it is best left to be performed by experienced practitioners. There are incantations involved, which are used mainly for the purpose of manipulation. It is believed that the downfall of certain empires in Ancient history were due to these powerful spells. Kings used the assistance of a spell caster to build up evil forces of negative energy to bring down kingdoms. Gods were also worshipped with black magic incantations. These incantations were considered as weapons with powerful spells being chanted with intensity. The chanting followed a certain formula to have a rhythmic effect and form vibrations to evoke negative energies in the atmosphere. Often, black magic incantations took the shape of riddles that could not be easily decoded by ordinary people. Only practitioners of this form of magic had the ability to decode such incantations and prevent it from creating any harm.
For the practitioner, some of what black magic is made of is not necessarily bad. Today, it has a lot in common with a few groups in society. Since many used black magic with intent to harm, the term became synonymous with evil. Those looking to cast powerful spells must understand the risk that the magic may not work at all unless performed to perfection. It could also work on the wrong person if correct information is not provided to the spell caster. Therefore, it is necessary to get it right the first time since undoing the effects of black magic requires a lot of work. The key is to find the spell caster before you go about casting spells.
