"So God is either a single cell organism or we need to wait and keep developing right before the moment of Rapture to have an idea of how God looks? "
Neither. The entire argument points to the fact that the very idea of surmising qualities of God in the way you have done is fallacious.
" I like that part of shattering my reality, how does that go?"
That part is dependent on your adherence to biblical statements.
" Do you always write your post like this or are you trying to look sofisticated in here?"
I didn't try to do anything. I refuse to dumb myself down so that people who can't even take the time to learn the only damn language they're supposed to know properly can feel more adequate. Being stupid is a choice. I made no extra effort in writing that; It happened quite quickly tbh.
Your lack of appreciation for my argument isn't surprising since I'm poking fun at your topic.

1) Then I am interested to know in what way you think God created man on His image.
2) Then you assumed beforehand that you would shatter my reality without having certainty that you could actually be able to accomplish such a thing. :P
3) So you think that English is the only language people are "supposed to know properly". That is a very limited way of looking at things. I am not lacking appreciation for your argument, I think you fail to see the seriousness behind my OP to begin with.

1) I don't think that statement carries any real value. What does it mean? Two arms and two legs? Eyes, nose, mouth... White/Black skin? It doesn't mean anything does it?
2) No. I state that a person adhering to the statement "God created man in His image" would easily have their reality shattered by a little introspection and analytical investigation. So, no, I didn't say that. But now that (it seems) you have indeed ascribed to that viewpoint, I'd have to say yes - your reality is very much in danger of being shattered.
3.1) Very ironic actually (your statement). One of the main problems with most human languages is that they are ambiguous. This is certainly true for English as well. In other words, one string could mean several things due to the inadequacy of the grammar. Your reading of my statement as " you think that English is the only language people are "supposed to know properly" " illustrates this point quite nicely. But NO, that's not what I meant. My statement extends to English websites, and English speaking people. No person who speaks English second or third language would have the audacity to say another is 'trying to sound sophisticated' as you have in this case.
3.2) "I think you fail to see the seriousness behind my OP to begin with. " And I gave you a simple set of arguments to show that the entire premise behind the OP is meaningless in its entirety. I should mention that I thought it was a joke(ish) thread at first.

1) If you are Christian and you find that that passage where it says God created man to His image has no value, well, I find that interesting. But I am rather interested to know what was meant with those words, what is the similarity that we humans supposedly have in common with God. If you are not a believer but still see no value in that passage, I am interesting as well. Especially if you pretend to analyze the Bible as I would find interesting how you dismiss this part of the Bible which could help give you an idea of how to and not to concept God.
2) If you didn't address me directly then I guess that wasn't meant for me.
3) It seems you are trying to blame the ambiguity that languages do have some times to what you wrote in your previous post. See how well you explained yourself in you follow up post? At least, you worded your thoughts poorly in the previous post.
3.2) If you though it was a "joke(ish)" post to begin with this further helps your argument that the shattering of realities was intended towards me.
@SxyxS:
Correct me if I am wrong but the black race may have not been an usual sight among the people of Jerusalem. Probably they would have kicked him out or something or not considered him one of them.

1) Genesis, aliens (ok giants from the sky), vegetarianism is man's ideal, no-one cares, creation, long-lived humans, floods. Either all of these are true or the whole story falls apart.
2) Sometimes we argue POINTS, not people.
3.1) Everything would be crystal clear to anyone who would take the time to read properly.
3.2) It was directed to the hypothetical person that adheres to the "man in God's image" statement. How many times must I repeat myself.
There's nothing more to be gained here.
