        This is Lemmy. You cannot go 5 posts without someone acting like a 2007 edgy internet atheist. I assume this is where they all ended up.

          Sure, but in real life I can’t drive 2 blocks without seeing a church with a sign out front talking about how great Jesus is.

            I can’t go too far either without seeing a sign saying smoking kills or drunk driving is something you shouldn’t do.

            I can! But it’s often like I can’t say “God love him” without some self-assured milksop craning his neck to tell me God can’t love him because God doesn’t exist.

    Tolkien called this idea “sub-creation,” suggesting that only God could create, in the complete sense of the word. But that humans, being made in God’s image, would by their nature strive to create. Anything we create uses what God gave us and would therefore be a lesser order of creation, thus sub-creation.

    What? Most religious dogma is predicated upon free will, meaning we are capable of rearranging things according to our own machinations.

    It would be like bacteria in a petri dish reorganising and reproducing, but it’s still creation in a sense separated from the creator.

        But We are not making a pie from scratch, We are making it from basic building blocks of universe.

        Also in this meme human and God are equal and this isn’t true. Humans are in itself creation of God.

        So God provides being and materials for us to create stuff with.
