The imagined god is something that people project their fears and desires onto.

But isnt that exactly what you are doing? Projecting your fears and desires into "what God is"?

When there is nobody in your life you can trust your feelings to; not your parents, not your family, not your friends, not anybody, then you're going to imagine an invisible friend who you *can* talk to.

An invisible friend? Some would say this is "insanity" and I would tend to agree. By feeling the need to "talk through" an "invisible friend" to yourself for support, you are surrendering control to someone/thing else which is quit disrespectful to yourself I think.

So you're approaching this from a wrong angle.

There IS no wrong angle.

WAT?

I'm not religious. I don't have an invisible friend because I have people who I can talk to.
