So, this eternal god looks just like us. Why does he need a nose to breathe, or a mouth and a stomach to eat with? Could he starve to death? Does he have a colon and a penis to poop and pee with? Come with us now as we go in search of logic in the bible.
A Christian will tell you that this is not a literal statement. That's okay. He made a race of people who were prone to irrationality, violence, anger, hatred, intrusiveness, impatience, jealousy, intimidation, manipulation, inequality, unfairness, intolerance, rank hypocrisy and occasional murderous bloodlust. In that regard, I'd say the Bible would have got it spot on, except that humans also display qualities such as love, tenderness, sympathy, empathy, altruism, understanding, justice and kindness, and God possesses none of these qualities.
