What IS it?

[oooog]

Who even says god is a humanoid?  Or any specific shape at all?  Perhaps god is a powerful cloud of god dust or something.  Or a shiny kitty.  OR perhaps god dust that can take the forum of ANYTHING.  All that supposibly matters is that god is all powerful  and is wicked awesome at doing stuff.

All hail teh shiny kitty XD

I believe we are all part of the same greater spirit and are manifestations of different facets of its personality. So, in a way, we are all, collectively, our own god.


All of this benevolent all-powerful being stuff reeks of wishful thinking to me. People want so much to believe that there is a reason to do good. They don't understand that doing good in and of itself should be the motivation, and the motivation should not be an otherworldly reward.

If I remember correctly from that one time I went to church, we're all supposed to be made in God's image. That suggest that God has a humanoid shape. Unless that's all more of the current editions of the Bible's lies.

LOL! Kitty!!

I dunno, I'm not a strong believer in the bible. You know with the man writing stuff part, makes it a bit hard to believe in. I mean, I should read it one day.....................nah. So when cain and his bro had kids, did they have sex with their daughters too? Wouldn't that mean that we're all having incest with each other because we're all related? Despite the fact that our skin and looks may be different? That's weird :S

I believe the men made in God's image were the Jews but he made other men first. That's is why Cain, after killing Abel, went to the land of Nod and took a wife.

Also there is a verse that said Cain was afraid of the world because he said "other men will kill me." This is why Cain got the mark of evil for protection.

Come on. Easy Reading.

Oh convenient. Theories about God that don't involve a giant telescope.
I think God is some ethereal shapeless entity that takes the shape of a man when we see him to prevent our hearts from exploding out of our chests. You see, God is like A Boy and His Blob. Actually it's more like ZIP ZOP ZOOPITY BOP. Well.. I dunno. We'll all find out soon enough. Like, when the Aliens start to overwhelm the last Predator so he activates the bomb.

You are a bitch! Stop spamming! It hurts my eyeballz!1

Anyways, Christianity is the most vague about what God is IMO. Like, the Hindus will tell you that Genesheyganoosh is an elephant wearing a Hawaiin shirt.

[charaman]

Even Christians and Jews don't take Genesis as hostroy, more of a fable-type thing. (personally I think it's all bs, but hey, believe what you want)

I don't believe that god actually exists. 'God' is actually atoms that make up us all. We are entirely created by atoms - meaning that we are made in his image, and each have a part of god in us. I also believe that Jesus was not so much a prophet, but a early scientist, who discovered cures for disease and things.

And, Evolution tends to be the more accepted belief these days, even many preists no longer claim the story of genesis to be true. According to genesis, there was not a long time before the creation of humans, something that is easily shown to be not true. If you believe Genesis, then you must believe that fossils of dinosaurs and other ancient beings are fake. Genesis was simply intended so that people would stop askin how the world was made when the old testament was written

Holy Shit! I'm God!!!

Oh, wait... there's more post to read there... Stopped reading at the "...".

[Tomi]

Someone who watches over us all.  Probably created everything  in the beginning.  Cool guy/girl/thing.

[Bluhman]

I'm sure there's something up there, but it ain't god.

[aboutasoandthis]

I believe Genisis, but I'm a strong supporter for evolution...

Your point?
