And man created religion in his own image, in his own image created he religion because man believes that man knows best that which is best for man.
Beginning at the tower of Babel, man has created religions all across the face of the earth that reflect the image of man's gods and man's goddesses, which he stores in his temples, shrines, and cathedrals, and to these buildings pagans go to worship because the idols and images of idols never move. They never leave the buildings. They never return to the heavens and back again. They never die for sin and they never are resurrected from death. They simply sit on the floors, or hang on the walls. They are like mannequins, all dressed up to go nowhere. Yet the pagans adore them as they bend their knees and bow their heads in obedient worship.
Obviously, religion is an institution instead of a living organism.
Obviously, too, people of the institution of religion are spiritually dead, yet they seek a place in the buildings to be revived again.
We know that a tree is dead when the tree has no roots or leaves. We also know that even water will not revive a dead tree to grow new roots, or new leaves.
Religion, therefore, is the same as a dead tree in that it has no roots as well as no leaves. By this we should also know that even water baptism out of the earth cannot revive a person that is spiritually dead.
To be clear, religion is the place where people go to die even though the ministers and priests have people believing that they will live and walk in new life in a place called heaven if they will submit themselves to water baptism and believe in religion: as if religion is the house of their salvation.
"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul." (Genesis 2: 7)
God created man out of the dust of the earth, man created religions, and because man is made out of the ground, his religions are also out of the ground and through man, which means that the value of man's religions are no greater than dirt; for just as man will return to dirt after death, his religions will fall with him as his religious houses will also return to dirt.
Yet, millions of families throughout human history have devoted their lives to religion and to gods that do not exist, and all for a value that is worth no more than dirt.
Jesus said,
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Mark 8: 36-37)
