Hi David,
Yes that does help. Feuerbach does allude to the fact that humans
tell stories to explain things. His story, that man placed
characteristics upon God, I think actually deals with how humans can
talk about a God whom we can't possibly know everything about nor
describe very well. The question: "How does man talk about God?"
becomes more relevant here than "How did man receive his
characteristics?"
Peace,
Steve

Hi Steve
That would be a leap to a question that would require
much that does not seem to be readily available to us.
I think Feuerbach might say that religion is an answer
we have constructed to answer that question, and to
understand the question it we need to look how we
have constructed it this human conception.
Does that help?

Hi David,
How did man receive his characteristics then?

Because, I suspect, he has no where else to get them from

Hi David,
From Wikipedia:
"Feuerbach talks of how man is equally a conscious being, more so than
God because man has placed upon God the ability of understanding."
How did Feuerbach conclude that man placed characteristics upon God?
I ask this because I agree with the three statements that follow in
that paragraph, but I am curious how Feuerbach arrived at that
original assumption.
"Man contemplates many things and in doing so he becomes acquainted
with himself. Feuerbach shows that in every aspect God corresponds to
some feature or need of human nature. 'If man is to find contentment
in God,' he claims, 'he must find himself in God.'"
Any thoughts/direction?
Peace,
Stephen

Religion is consciousness of the infinite. Religion therefore is
"nothing
else than the consciousness of the infinity of the consciousness; or,

the
consciousness of the infinite, the conscious subject has for his
object
the
infinity of his own nature."
suggested Feuerbach, might we say that the MOQ is awareness of
infinity?
Discuss.
