Man & God: symbiotic or parasitic relationship?

Post Reply New Topic

Whether you think that God made Man, or Man made God, if both do exist:

Is this a symbiotic or a parasitic relationship, in general?

What is the special nature of your relationship?

god is the parasite.

I'm an atheist, so God and I have no relationship.

I'm going to assume that when you say "symbiotic or parasitic relationship", you mean that God is either a parasite, or trying to be helpful to humanity. But I'm going to be literalist right now, just for the fun of it, and say that I don't know if humanity is a parasite of God, because I haven't the slightest idea what God is like.

Religion is a parasitical relationship between leadership and laity.

In the case of the Abrahamic god humans are not people, they are props.

I think our existince is incidental to God's. Like body hair or fingernails are incidental to my existence. Or possibly even the E. Coli in my guts. That is sort of symbiotic or mutualism I guess.

I come into this from the Pantheist view.
