All Gods Fail Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Here's a thought that just occurred to me. If we are 'created in god's image', it stands to reason that god is essentially a human, or a homo sapiens. A primate. Of course, the phrase 'created in our image' is a little vague, but I think we can all agree that biblegod somehow resembles human beings (ie., he wouldn't look like a bluejay, or a dolphin, or some unimaginable creature). So god is strictly terrestrial. I'm of the opinion that there is intelligent life out there somewhere (BTW, I don't believe in 'alien abductions' or Roswell - my belief agrees w/Carl Sagan's. It's statistically impossible that there is no other intelligent life anywhere in the universe. And it has yet to be proven they've visited us.). But it's a fair bet that other intelligent, sentient beings are not humanoid in appearance - there's little chance they evolved from our common ancestor. So god could not possibly have anything to do with the rest of the universe - he's strictly an Earthbound deity. And he couldn't have created any other planets or alien beings, either. The upshot is, god is made-up. He's what the ancient Israelites thought an all-powerful being should be - an glorified, alpha Jewish male. So if we ever do leave Earth for other planets, Yaweh would be left behind, as he's strictly an earth god. (Don't take this little meandering too seriously. Just something to think about next time you're peeling carrots! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MQTA Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Man was created in the alien God's image -> if we were genetically engineered out of homo erectus and the Enki/Enlil description from the Sumerians, we were Created [from homo erectus] in Their image - with their genetic fluids, we were 1/2 them, and so an Image.

Clergicide Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I think Christians would react the same way to aliens that they would to Jesus if He came back...they'd stone them to death as agents of evil. Thinking the aliens demons and Jesus the Antichrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jews believe that it meant God's spiritual image, as in both humans and God are creators. Both humans and God are aware of their existence. After all, how can a limitless God be limited by a physical body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythra Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 How can God be a "he"? What exactly does a spiritual penis look like? Is it also invisible? How convenient for God. You could tell everybody you have 12", and they couldn't prove it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All gods on earth are simply reflections of what humans want god to be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MQTA Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 yeah.. always wondered about Superman and Lois Lane, too. Shouldn't he have poked holes through her, she shoulda been dead at his first orgasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
