Why are millions of people around the world so convinced that there is at least 1 Supreme Being that looks over us and takes care of us and that He created the world and all that. I don't mean to hurt people's religious sentiments, but don't people realize that they are ultimately praying to a idol that is nonliving. We say that humans are so advanced mentally, but are we really? Then why do so many people worship idols which won't do anything to them;won't harm or benefit them. Why don't people realize that they are just wasting their precious time?

Bhai God is an Alien and he may just zap you.😆
I used to think the same way when young but after experiencing so many incidents/miracles in our lives I got to say that the Big Man up there know what he is doing.
But generally we are all Gods too.😉

I think every religion does the Idol worshiping......for eg:the Kaaba is more ancient than the Muslims' religion. The history of Islam is only about fourteen hundred + years old, bt that black stone in the Kaaba is hundreds of thousands of years old....but still people worshiping that stone...its all different kind of belief and medication...that time people dont feel its an idol...but theres two type of people, those people only see the idols and forget to worship, others are only knows to worship....I believe worshiping itself a art of making Idol....😊

so you mean universe came just like that? life came just like that? humans really came frm apes?
and so many religions frm china to middle east since thousands of years teachng that there is One God is all foolishness?
my question will be: why so many dont believe in God? are they out of their senses?

no muslims dont worship Kaaba. we worship Allah - the Supreme Being above the heavens. Owner and Creator of universe. we only pray in the direction of kaaba.

Yes good clarification.
Allah the formless one. Hinduism calls it Nirguna Brahman (formless aspect).
Formless does not mean nothing but everything and beyond.
In many countries the politicians also use religion to control the people. but it is not done in the proper manner.
