time in a sense is the same as god, both things created by man, doing both good and bad things for mankind. religion over time has become nothing more than a means of mobilizing oppurtunistic cultures, and certain peoples agendas and ideals. "god" has nothing to do with it and never has, in my expert opinion.

If firegreen was asserting that the concept of measuring time was invented by man I would tend to agree, but it is difficult to know exactly what he means as his 'expert opinion' is long on opinion and extremely short on substance.

gen1:3And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.

4And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness.(B)

5And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

...

14And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens [of God's provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days, and years,(C)
15And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light upon the earth. And it was so.

16And God made the two great lights--the greater light (the sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night. He also made the stars.

17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,

18To rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good (fitting, pleasant) and He approved it.

19And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day
