If GOD created man in his own image, why did he give him a navel?

If GOD created man in his own image, why did he give him a navel?

Because the painter was a dumb fuck?

why this thread was created?

Get the fuck out of here you dumb nigger go be a nigger somewhere else

Because god generated them biologically

I guess so the next humans wouldn't be selfconcious about the anus on their stomach?

I don't get it. Why can't God have a navel?

I mean I get the idea that he wouldn't have one due to umbilical cord stuff. But why wouldn't he just have the "image" of one?

You guys know almost no one takes the Bible completely literally anymore?

Each different sect decides which parts to take literally and which parts are metaphorical. Nobody can agree on which parts are which though.

a) because the painter was an idiot
b) because god is actually some kind of space alien who reproduces in a manner pretty similar to ourselves

It just never told us about any more of its species, so we pretty much assumed it must have been the only one, even though that just raises even more questions.

>You guys know almost no one takes the Bible completely literally anymore?
So you're saying the bible is a lie?

I thought so.

Fine. My church basically believes it's a book of allegory, metaphor, and simplified morals.

The only thing we take literally are Jesus and his miracles/ resurrection.

No shit retard. Are you an intellectual gentleman seeking a lady to woo like a knight of old? How euphoric.

>The only thing we take literally are Jesus and his miracles/ resurrection.
JESUS resurrected me last night. It was a miracle!

Thank you J!

How come you can drink a drink but can't food a food? Proof of God's absence.

Morals like if you hear a voice in your head you should sacrifice your child? Or maybe about how unruly children should be stoned to death at the edge of town?

He's God, he can do anything he wants.

Because humans needed to replicate? Da fonk you think it's for dumb cunts.

Even stupid stuff like creating babies and then letting them die of starvation by the thousands?

What a wonderful god you have

The physical self is just a shell.

You can't have good without evil. Can't have light without dark. Can't have up without down.

Please kill yourself so your shell stops taking up resources in our physical world. You'll have more fun making macaroni pictures with Jesus anyway.

But can He create a rock so heavy that even He couldn't lift it up?

Real question, why does god have a navel? Is he also a creation?

He can probably pretend it's too heavy just to make you happy.

So you're saying He can't do that really

But you can have in and out.

But then, maybe YOU don't

This is such a bizarre thing that people say. It's like saying that the problem with the original Star Wars is that there's a scene where the boom mic is in frame.

Why do you assume that "in His image" means that people look like Him?

the only reasonable explanation is that god is a hermaphrodite; so one before creating the universe god was floating in the endless static abyss; so zhe decided to have a wank and blow a load into zis own vagina. but then zhe gave birth to zimself while dying at the same time resulting in an endless loop creating an immense amount of energy that is the universe today: the big bang theory

God can do anything.

>Why do you assume that "in His image" means that people look like Him?
It says so in the bible

Is the bible a lie?

Because they were born with the genetic information for their offspring.

God : 1
Plebs : 0

How do you know Adam and Eve had Navel?

You saw a painting?

Cause they're fucking retards that take things to literal

because otherwise you wont get any feeding while your inside of your stupid whore mom. you would be dead inside your whore mom. wich part of me says that would be the best thing that could ever happend to you fucking cunt

also god doesnt excist he is just a stupid made up thing which grew out to some of the worlds biggest fails just to give mankind a hopefull thougt they are not alone and they can do stupid thing on sunday like fucking up your sunday for someone who DOESNT FUCKING EXCIST!!
they also wrote a book about the twat

please do me a favor and get the fuck away from Sup Forums dont be a retard and please kill yourself

also good bait. 6/10

Flawed logic

Comparing a "real story" to a make believe one. Okay.

No.

>implying the naval isn't a scar

First of all, the expression is "in his image and likeness." It would have been easy to say "they looked like him." It doesn't say that.

In fact, it was that man was created in His image. Then it doubles back and says that in His image and likeness, he created *them.*

So there's clearly more going on here than the Bible saying "dudes look like God, but not chicks."

I don't even believe in god, but wow, that's a shit argument.

Get reked

If He can than reply to my question of the rock creation

Becuz odderwise da baby gon fall out sheeeeeyit

What retards from thousands of years ago had no idea about, and what our understanding of the brain and how it works has shown us, is that image itself is a production of the mind. The mind being a chemical consequence of our brain. The image of shit is as superficial as you can be, and it's just a hallucination. Reality is actually perception, but ignorant idiots don't want to know about that so they make up bullshit fantasies like god and religion

God can make a rock that he decides to never move.

God can make a rock that you can not move.

God can*, but will not, do anything.

Maybe it is, I wasn't there. Were you?

Maybe they were born in tubes on a space ship?

Because they needed it for procreation

They werent. "If" and "maybe" isn't shit m8.

The point is that if He can create but can't lift a rock He can't do anything, and if He can lift anything than He isn't able to create such rocks so He can't do anything, anyway you see it god can't do anything get over it

You don't know. Everyone is fucking guessing about everything. Stop being an edgy faggot.

becaus god wasnt born
he shouldnt have a navel. no umbilical cord

hes better than us navel havers

Perception is not reality.

Perception is deception.

Flesh is temporary and rots quickly.

people are beings known as humans.

since you are clearly a dumbass, I have to tell you rather than interact with you or attempt to have a dialog.

Human being is a lifeform that is part flesh, and part spirit.

The mind is a link between the Spirit, and the Body.

If you trust your minds thoughts, then you trust someone, someone who is human.

Reality is what our spirits are doing, and what other spirirts around is are doing.

What we see is merely a distraction from that very real and disturbing truth.

Angels and Demons are more real than water, and earth are.

But, live in this dellusion that you've formed denying all truth and deciding it is okay to be gay even though you know you are better than that life.

*drops microphone*

Your an idiot if you think 'in his image' only has one meaning

He doesn't have a physical body so physical restrictions would be irrelevant

>Drops microphone

GTFO

We don't know if that is true or not. He could have a physical body (essential a host shell).

>Jesus

essentially *

>Your an idiot if you think 'in his image' only has one meaning
Then I guess the bible can mean whatever you want it to mean.
I like the part where you get to kill your children for disrespecting you.

That's pretty clear to me.

The pioint actually is you are wrong clearly, and have flawed logic senses.

IF he can do anythig, he can make a rock he can not lift.

He can then turn the rock into someone smarter than you, and have them knock your dumbass teeth out. Then He can turn you into a jackass, and you can hee-haw all day while flies bite your ass.

But, he doesn't because he loves you as much as everyone else he made.

The reason some christians are kot "Godly"

All the non-christ fags that do not deserve any love, and God still love them stupid hoes..

i am not your God, why care what I think??

Ask him, go ahead faggot. Scared he wont reply?

He never replies audibly,

I dont even hear from him since I joined your little community, and frankly the good porn isnt worth it.

God is way better than Sup Forums ever will be.

No. PERCEPTION IS reality you fucking twat. You don't understand the nature of experience if you're seriously trying to argue about this. Consciousness does not exist without perception first. That's a fact of life. Good luck with your ignorance

Good luck. Logic flies right over heads here. Like it doesn't exist.

I know deities aren't real and the Bible is full of anecdotal fairy tales. Go fuck yourself

Your persepctive has been proven to be wrong.

What a person thinks is real is not always real.

What you see the world as, does not bend the world to be as you saw it.

He can probably create something that massive. I mean .you were born so your mom does exist

>Reality is actually perception
no it isn't you

You may believe what you wish,
But it is not a fact that "deities are not real"

In fact our universe can logically not exist without a transcendent causal agent,

Learn 2 science

You don't understand what I mean by perception. Perception is experience, and experience is consciousness. When I say perception is reality, I mean it's what constitutes reality. Anything real is an image of our own perception. Nothing outside of our perception is called anything, obviously, because it's outside of our perception. Reality itself is a consequence of our consciousness, which is a product of our perception. Maybe you should stick to religion if this is too complicated for you

Good point OP

our universe is constantly creating itself on every level imaginable and unimaginable. We don't think or feel so because that's our perception, but we can bypass our ignorant perception enough to put some pieces of the puzzle together

It says for being a disrespectful glutton and a drunkard

The perception of what one experiences while conscious is reality??

It surely does not make and sense to me.

Reality is what actually happens in the world God made..

I dont know where you donwloaded your personal doctionary at, but try merriam webster, it is a credible source for definitions.

I forgot to add that nobody is pulling the strings. It's just happening on its own. No deities. No gods or god. Just nature doing its thing everywhere all at once.

YOUR PERCEPTION IS YOUR REALITY

There is some evidence to support you are not entirely incorrect.

However, there is also evidence which supports you have yet to discover the truth.

Hosea 13:16 God promises to dash to pieces the infants of Samaria and the “their women with child shall be ripped up”. Once again this god kills the unborn, including their pregnant mothers.

The god is nature

why even argue, everybody accept that fact. That word "god" must remind you some bad memories that happens to your ancestor in name of god, to be such mad about it existence or not

...

>of samaria

Leviticus 20:9 “For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.”

Yes he can. Using a similar idea as quantum physics, he can create a rock that creates a combination of two states: one where he can't lift it and one where he can. So with that happening, he's still omnipotent since he's doing everything. Checkmate.

Leviticus 26:30 “And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.”

Becausd he didn't want his children wouldn't feel self conscious about it?
Because the painter didn't think of that?
Because the "creation" process still leaves a navel? (eg. Guided evolution)
Because that part of genesis is a poem that should be read as a metaphor?
Because God thought it looks good?
Because God has a navel?
Because God has something similar in the same spot that's there for another reason?
Because "In his image" doesn't necessarily mean "looks exactly like him"?

It's not hard to pick apart creationism but holy fuck this is a weak ass attempt.

Thank you user.

I agree that it's really easy to say there isn't a god. But. The Earth sits at a very delicate tilt that is just all to coincidental. Sure it could be nature. Or we could all be a clock on Gods hobby shelf that is managed and such only as he see fits. Also would explain a lot of perception issues. Time and life.

>Tl;Dr: Deism

Don't worry about me and my relationship to the truth ;)

Truth is a sense afterall, and how our senses operate is largely under our control

Not everybody defines god that way though. The deity model is a much more popular one, unfortunately. So fuck off with that word and all its potential bullshit. Just call it what it is: nature. Nobody needs to personify it, although people love to for some reason. I guess it helps people identify and relate / understand aspects of nature (sun god, moon god, god of the tides etc.) But history is a mess of people like that trying to objectify these personification and assert them into the category of scientific validity. Gtfo with your god

Theres historic and archelogical proof that Jesus did infact live. Was he the son of God? That is up to debate

So god has a vagina... Ergo god is a woman .. No wonder lifes a bitch .. 'ba dum tssssk.'

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

But that's wrong

>But that's wrong
So is the rest of your bible

So is a niggwr church that says saturday is the sabbath because MUH CALENDAUH

It's not completely bad as far as being used for a philosophy tool, but it's not a scientific tool or even close to the best way to describe nature and how it works. The Bible and religion should be personal, not public imo

Hurr people are dumb, religion is for the dumb and created by powerseek men. You got the answer, people are dumb, and they need stories to learn certain inner rules. But you're probably so above that, you need to tell people the process instead of the result they want

Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12

Genesis 5:1-2 -- [...]He made him in the likeness of God. 2He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

The uniting of opposites births creation.

>tell people the process instead of the result they want

Yeah that's kind of the idea. The other stuff is salty bullshit on your part though. I just have a genuine interest in what I talk about, which is why I try to talk about it. I'm not the only one like that itt either. The subject of the nature of reality is a very attractive one, naturally. A lot of homies are down to learn more and explore it, you know? Religion gets in the way because it's not designed to be an open minded experience. It's designed to be a traditional strict theme

Almost everyone where I live does, it sucks. Rural america can be a bitch in some places
