Your limitation of the word 'image' isn't rational. People can easily understand this concept. Nothing about God is strange or meaningless.. it all follows exact logic. You can't apply a set of rules from one thing to another where they don't apply. You can bite and taste an apple, but if I pass on some information to you you can neither taste it nor bite it.. does that make it no information, or just not an apple?

I like to understand and see all there is before launching an attack. I'm always better prepared that way.

Quote:Nothing about God is strange or meaningless.. it all follows exact logic.I can name one, being all perfect means you are everything. You cannot improve or be more than what you are and so any thought or action would be meaningless and so gods existence is therefor meaningless. Also we are far from perfect but god is perfect and he created us right? Well why would something so perfect in everyway result to creating something so inperfect? What is the meaning of it?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
