Deification of Mankind in Heavenly Religions

Share the post :

We will not find a problematic issue in the mankind civilizational mentality, from ancient times until now, like we find in the problem of divinity and its meaning.

The human mind has produced many questions, ideas, and theories that have attempted to explain the meaning of this term, and provide satisfactory answers to man’s questions in this regard. Perhaps we find many ideas that depict God in a human image, meaning that mankind has imagined his God with the same standards of equality and perfection on which the universe, nature, and society existed: the God of the Negroes is Negro, and the god of the whites is white, as it was said that if animals were able to depict God, they would depict him in their own form. This concept developed to include the attributes and actions of God on mankind himself, and the attributes of divinity were added to specific humans, as happened, for example, in ancient civilizations, such as the deification of the Pharaoh in ancient Egyptian civilization, and other examples.
