[MD] Who am I?

[Stephen Hannon]

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
