How Human Is God ?

[rocketpost1]

If God made man in His own image, does He have bodily functions ?.

[SparklyKid]

Forget genesis Khandro and all the other fictional nonsense.

All gods since time began are man's inventions born out of ignorance.

[tiggerblue10]

I heard many years ago that Sai Baba was regarded as a god in human form.

Khandro, 11:11 Sat 24th Oct, someone made that up, just as others made up - and still make up - all the other excuses to avoid addressing the inconvenient. Why don’t you believe the bible?

[HansUrbancka]

I'll add to what Naomi has said :-

Khandro.....Why are you, like some other 'Believers' who post in Answerbank, often rude to those with whom you disagree.? Was it really necessary at 11.11am to start off by suggesting that the OP was aged six. ?

Hans.

Khandro, your pomposity is overwhelming and I'm drowning in a sea of words. I'm also quite tired after holding back the Red Sea. Have you ever tried it, it's very very difficult. You were nearly right about my age but I'm actually seven and a half. Best wishes.

If god made man in his own image, then he's flawed.
Who wants to be made in the image of a genocidal maniac anyway?
A god who (according to the Bible) orders the destruction of entire communities to be put to death by the sword, fire, burial alive, mauled by bears, starvation, ad infinitum. (if youve ever bothered to read the 'holy book'
The God of the Bible is not something that I wish to be made after.

I own my own flaws, Im not taking god's flaws as well....he's a nut case.

[nailit]

I don't need God's forgiveness. He needs mine.

[rocketpost1]

nailit : you've definitely nailed it. I couldn't have put it better myself. Take care.

[Peter Pedant]

// I was expecting more of a reaction//
no we have a fundamentalist thread EVERY day
earnestly wondering plaintively but insistently if this is the end of time as detailed in the Apocalypse
and then the next day there is a thread asking if this is the end of time as described .....a thin small voice wheedling...

and yours

and someone just said that G had knocked up Mary, and we are foo-d every day as well .....

[nailit]

Ive never once had an answer as to how I would be happy in heaven whilst knowing that my loved ones are been tortured in hell by the God that I worshipped?

[Theland]

Its not about anybody else, its about YOU.

[nailit]

Theland,
Would you care to enlighten me how to worship your God after putting my mum into an eternal fire?

[fiveleaves]

Bodily functions? Are you a 13 year old.
Jesus was 100% Man and 100% God. Did he have bodily functions while on earth. Yes, of course. And He had a willy, snigger, snigger.

What does in mean to be created in the image of God? Many things I suggest. It means our lives are of infinite value. Also it means we are the very pinnacle of God's creation. The very best created things in the universe.

[Atheist]

Fiveleaves, it's all wishful thinking. You're entitled to your view and so am I. Theologists and Fiveleaves and me don't know what's the truth. Best wishes.

[Atheist]

And, Fiveleavers, the OP was posting tongue in cheek, so it's silly to accuse him of being juvenile.

[rocketpost1]

Five Leaves Left 1969. Enjoy them while ye may.

Hans: //.Why are you, like some other 'Believers' who post in Answerbank, often rude to those with whom you disagree.? //

I don't think anyone needs lessons from you on 'rudeness', your post a couple of days ago on another thread was removed because it broke the Site Rules, not only was it 'rude' in was a vitriolic, completely, uncalled for personal attack against a poster (Theland) who had only stated something in which he believed.

You really can't stand it can you? - people who think differently from you. How many other groups beyond Christians do you hate?

[Canary42]

God didn't make man in his own image - man made god in his own image, and for hundreds of years got away with the fairy tale. Fortunately thinking people are now realising it's all a plot to give power to priests who then prey on little children in the name of their god.
