go go Gadget Ivan.
I’m personally a huge fan of bananas… but to the point.
mind you I’m not a man of faith.
But here’s what was essentially shoved down my throat through catholic school.
God can do anything he wants, shut up and deal with it. As you can obviously guess this didn’t go a long way in convincing me to like the notion of Divinity.
Here’s my question. God made man in his image(allegedly). So how far in his image were we created? Is it a purely aesthetic resemblance, but having absolutely no connection with him/her/it in a spiritual manner? Does god have a psychi? a personality? fears? excitement? etc? Or is it something we can not comprehend because he’s just an ass like that? And if we truely are unable to understand God, why would he make a people that could never fully understand their creator? it seems like faulty programming.
And Why, if he’s the never dulling compassionate, would he create creatures so obviously less than him? a power trip? suddenly the all mighty is beginning to show a very human side, wouldn’t you think?
That’s where, I think, creationism has it’s faults. Tell me why an all loving god would want to create a people that are so feeble and pathetic compared to Him? The only logical reason would be an ego boost. If god has no ego though, why wouldn’t he make humanity a little more respectable?
