So you prefer to lie to children and damage their minds with immoral beliefs of their supernatural condemnation.
That is hardly a way to a better future.

Greatest I am:Why did we stop inventing gods?
“We” didn’t.
They merely call them something else. Now it is Quantum Physics.
Only to those who have incorrectly branded science and atheists.
Christianity should have science as their god.
If they had that then perhaps Christianity would have grown itself by good deeds instead of the sword.

We did not invent God(s). We invented a god concept that evolved according to our spiritual understanding. Bob was absolutely right on this point. By way of Greek and oriental influences, the Hebrew God became the Christian God. So what is the latest concept of God? Is it still locked into the understanding of ancient Hebrews and 1st century Christians?
I do not think so except where any of the Abrahamic cults can profit from the acquaintance.
Each creed will think the other is following the wrong doctrine.
I do not think religions had much to do with spirituality in the beginning.
It was all about the money just as it is today.

Why did we stop inventing gods?
Did we?
What about the new gods, for example the “scientific” gods.
To some few perhaps.
Science is exactly where most mainstream religions are.
With their many theories to precede the Big Bang, science has created their own scientific god of the Gaps and he sits with the religious gods of the gaps.

Modernity fights the origin. So theologically said, modernity means inventing false gods (idols)…
I do not agree as I see the ancients as more modern in their thinking than the lying religions like Christianity and Islam that we suffer today.
Modernity is just showing how big those religions are on lying.
Here is how we should think of any god. Without attributes as none of those can be known.

I’d say the modern day version of god is false idols.
Indeed.
Idol worshiping is all that Christians and Muslims do. Any who name a god are in the same boat.

Ierrellus:God may be a quadrinity—Father, Mother, Son, Daughter. Or, perhaps all possible human relationships.
I guess that you are not aware of Jung and Freud’s Father Complex.
You might want to look it up, although you believe in the supernatural so natural things might elude you.

You don’t know me at all. I’ve read Freud and Jung. I just don’t believe in everything I read. I’m not a fan of the supernatural.
They didn’t stop inventing them, they merely started calling them something else. Unfortunately with the average intellect as it is, that is all it takes to propose that progress is forming a new world without gods.

Good. Then you should understand where and why we are creating gods for ourselves. Gods as defined as the best rules and laws to live by and so far, secular gods, laws and rules that is, have all been created by people who also put supernatural gods aside.

Indeed, our intellect is growing and intelligent people recognize that supernatural gods are just fiction. God has no place in the minds of intelligent thinkers.
That is why the religious fear intelligent reasoning and logic.

“Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.”
Martin Luther born 1483, died 1546
That’s a modern reference. It’s how every religious person thinks in 2016.
The final verdict on God’s existence will be decided soon. I haven’t got laid in many months so that’s that’s a few points against his favor. And the date God set up the girl couldn’t kiss me on the lips because I was too ugly I guess. Today I had a date that was cancelled today, so I went to a bar to find a woman, the woman at the bar said she believed in monogamy, so I called another girl, then she told me I was too pushy then hung up on me (Irony because, if she values politeness, she should be polite, but of course women are eager to find fault in everyone else but themselves.)
The final verdict on whether God/magic exists will be determined scientifically and emperically. It all boils down to that test I took a few weeks ago. If the answers are correct God definitely exists, but if the answers are wrong, then the voices in my head are all lies, and I should no longer trust them.

Yes. Inventing gods has never been stopped. The opposite is true: More and more gods have been invented.

Trust but verify.
You are likely listening to your Father Complex.
At least I think that that is what Jung and Freud would say.
Science cannot ever prove the non-existence of god.
It is not to them to prove or disprove the delusion that some have.
It is to the deluded to show that they are not so.
