Wim Rietkerk - Is God a Projection?

The second talk in Wim Rietkerk's three-part series entitled "The Challenge of Atheism" considers whether God is merely a psychological projection of human desires and aspirations, as Feuerbach and Freud, for example, claimed. This view can be summed up in the phrase: "The poor man has a rich God."

Wim considers the psychological, philosophical and Biblical arguments against this claim.
