God is you and you are God

[Medusa]

Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872), the young Hegelian and huge influence on Marx and Engels; proposed that God is nothing more than 'a projection of our own being'.

Wilhelm Riech (1897-1957) the communist and convicted fraudster, talked of God as a fetish of the ego.

So this idea is hardly new.

Of course all Gods contain personal content. How could it be otherwise? These ways of looking at things are fun, but I am always wary of simple explanations of religious belief and God, people are complex.


As for Satanism, it always seemed a bit too kitsch for my taste, but hell, to each their own.

I guess I've felt the same way about Atheism at times too.
