God is what you want it to be. There are Nature Gods and Sun Gods, Moon Gods, and Astrological Gods too. I go for the Sun God like the Ancient Egyptians believed, since without the sun this planet wouldn't exist and we now know how a planet forms today over billions of years. The moon is like Jesus it's the second important star, without it we would be totally covered in water. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
There is. Psalms 19:1
How does he feel about the state of religion.
I don't even like the word because of that.

The objection by Aristotle. He believed that attributing human or animal properties to God is always wrong.
Psalm 19 1
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

Bingo. We smile at the ancients who gave their gods such human attributes that some even came down and had sex with human women... yet modern religions have done the same.

he was pretty explicit with the pharisees.......they were folks who thought they were better than others.......sort of like all the JPP atheists who start stupid threads like this one..........
Don't speak for atheists. you have no idea how much we have to hold our tongues in public while rightys who hate like few on the planet pretend they are religious.
I think anthropomorphizing God is more of an evangelical Protestant doctrine: they believe they are having a personal relationship with God.
I do not think anthropomorphizing God is even good theology in other Abrahamistic faith traditions. In Eastern Orthodoxy God is unknowable and incomprehensible to the human mind, God exists outside of space and time, and can only be experienced mystically. I cannot speak for modern Rabbinic Judaism or Islam, but I think anthropomorphizing God is bad theology as well in those traditions.
Brahman in the Hindu tradition is a universal spirit who is under no circumstances anthropomorphized.
I personally find the evangelical posture that "God is my copilot" a tad preposterous.
Not to mention snake-handling kind of freaks me out!

Christianity is based on a human God.

Catholic pray to Mother Mary.
There are very few anti-christian zealots here. And they are no where close to being the threat to personal liberty and scientific progress that white conservative evangelicals are.
You are changing the subject.
The thread topic is God, not the Saints.
The Saints are not God, they are human, and veneration of the Saints is not the same as worship.

Sorry to offend you. Catholics are right about everything. Better?
