Just for the lol'z ok:

If god made us in his own likeness so he also made homosexuals,retards,... that means that he is some kind of an deformed being leaving in the clouds or something,....


Again This thread is for the lol'z.

God is whatever the men who created him wanted him to be.

Not to mention atheists. Well, surely god is an atheist right?

Is there some reason you are demeaning homosexuals and the mentally handicap by equating them to an inept malicious narrcissistic brat of a god?

Dude, "retard" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Dumb-fuck", please.

Well, this thread suffers from the same problem commonly referred to as the fallacy of the false analogy. If we analogize one thing to another, that because two things are alike according to one property, they are then of necessity alike in other properties. That man was like God does not indicate in which ways man is like God. Since the bible doesn't specify in what way man is like God, it's improper to include or exclude any specific property. (And throughout time, various attributes have been asserted as being bestowed in Eden this way, from free will to rationality to moral goodness.)

What may be of slightly more interest is that in Genesis 1:26, God created mankind in his image, but it's unclear whether that image had a sexual nature or not.

The way I like to think of it is that God is absolute perfection, greatness, glory, and beauty. In being perfect he also must be utmost loving, and utmost loving would be utmost only if it's ultimate existence/life. God has perfect qualities, being perfect in wisdom, in morality, in intelligence.

Now we aren't perfect like God, but his qualities and glory and beauty exist in all of us to a degree.

And something is that we don't all have the exact image of God, it's more like, in decent there is different types of glory, beauty, etc, and our personalities are all unique but yet there is unifying factor that makes us human and also less or more similar to others.

There is a divine piece of divine glory and beauty in every soul, and so in that sense, it can be said we are created from his image.

Although it is true people have made God what they want, like Min said, the same can be said about morals. People often decide morals to be what they want, it doesn't mean there is no knowledge of morals just because that has happened.

The same is true of God. Just because people have made up a certain image of him, doesn't mean he is completely made up, similarly to how morality is not completely made up, even though if much of it is wrong in a culture/person.

Yahweh doesn't want cripples to come into his church.
