I thought God was supposed to be invisible and works in mysterious ways. Unknowable yet omniscient. Can't touch him because he's everywhere all at the same time. Does that sound like a human?

God is supposed to be eternal right? And humans are supposed to be made in his image. So, then humankind is eternal and each individual is simply part of the human evolution process? In that way we are everywhere, eternally, well at least as far back as the year beginning with Adam and Eve? What if some of us are from the tribes of people outside Eden, the land of Nod or elsewhere?

Just thinking out loud.

We as humans don't live eternally individually, but our offspring continues the human race forward. Humanity will go on regardless of how many adults and children die of natural and unnatural causes, accidentally or intentionally. How many children were killed in the bible?

That also goes for eggs and sperm, needing the right environment to succeed, just like an infant needs the right environment to thrive.

If humans are made in God's image, yet we can't see him, how can we know at what stage God is in? Is he an embryo? Is he an egg? Is he a child, an adult, or dead, with just the idea of God remaining eternally carried in the minds of believers?

If God is just an idea, and an egg, sperm, or embryos still forming is an idea, how is that different that the glimmer of an eye between 2 potential lovers before they consummate their love? Or the evil eye of a rapist or soldier for another god committing rape for the purpose of ethnic cleansing?

Humanity (if made in God's image) shouldn't need direction from a bible or other scripture, if we rely on our own human values, ethics and morals, socially agreed upon laws and social courtesies. If we are indeed made in God's image, then aren't we also are capable of using our own minds, creating our own laws, based on modern society and scientific breakthroughs in medicine and so on, not known about when the bible or the constitution was written?

It's just difficult to say that we are made in God's image, when nobody can describe exactly what that is. A blob? A wispy cloud in the sky?

Oh, God is metaphor, an idea, you say, a glimmer of hope, which can change and adapt to the whims of how best to use it for power over a particular group? Okay, well then that makes sense.

Nobody can know, at least those of us who are agnostic, so how about we each decide what's best for ourselves and our families, and not meddle in other's private matters. The constitution allows for separation of state and church. Let's keep to that. Religious views shouldn't enter into it at all.

They want cannon fodder!

Created in the image of god. Still in the womb of imagination but not there as a being yet.

What's next? If it isn't in the Constitution it don't count.

Women and minorities lose the right to vote?
Interracial and gay marriages outlawed?
Non religious people not allowed to hold office or express opinions on town meetings?
Incest with daughters not considered rape?
Rapes become misdemeanors?
Courts adhere to religious doctrine to decide punishments?
Killing women, minorities and gays considered not that bad?
Boys will be boys.

Deeper and deeper into a land of ignorance and stupidity the US goes.

Life begins at the moment of fertilization. Let's sell you on a load of vegetables with that idea in mind. Look at your lovely apples and carrots. Oh, you have to have faith for this because they are not there yet. Damned ignorant angry Christians.

Fucking Louisiana... I need to get out of this hellhole. New Orleans is it's only saving grace.

It’s going to get really ugly in this Country. Everyone take care and be safe. Watch these nutty people closely, they are dangerous.

They have more concern for fetuses than they do for unwanted, neglected, and abused children.
