>>>There's also a concept called anthropomorphism - whereby God uses bodily terms to make us understand Him better. The Bible is very clear that God is spirit and that God does not have a body.

>>Oh that's rich! He doesn't have a body, is all spirit, but He made us in his image! So why aren't we just like whisps of smoke then? Who says He made us in his image? Oh, I forgot - the Bible. Who wrote the Bible? - Man.

>>Man is guilty of the anthropomorphism - not a case of God doing it.

>>Look, Howard. There are those of us who DO believe in God, but YOUR interpretation of the whole thing is warped, outdated, based on primitive writings (what makes them more accurate than modern Man?).

>By the way, why all the hate? Is it because you don't agree with me - or - is there something more? I don't hate those who disagree with me and try to be as civil as I can in answering/discussing these things. Seems some of you can't do that. Mind you - I'm not offended. Just curious why there is such anger with you (and others here.)

Howard, I support you. We made a deal to discuss it all decently and I very much appreciate your attitude so far. I think that in the end we'll gonna have to agree to disagree, but I don't see that as a problem. It will have been a learning experience for both, and others I hope.
