Two Men and a Bird

[SallyF]

Two representations of how two different cultures imagine "God".

To me, all gods are imaginary in the great big game of Pretend called religion.

But as we're arguing for and against Christianity here, can anyone demonstrate that the Christian depiction of "God" is any less a product of human imagination than the Hindu depiction of "God"?

Or, like me, do you recognise that they are never shown to be anything OTHER than imaginary …?

I prefer the more realistic modern images from TCG and SallyF. I prefer realism in general in my art. It reminds me that Christianity is not a white person's religion AT ALL.

"REALISTIC" …!!!

Wow … so YOU know what "God" REALLY looks like …!

But, because it seems to me that "God" can be just whatever believers IMAGINE "God" to be, EVERYONE who believes in ANY version of "God" knows what "God" looks like …

Even those who imagine "God" as some sort of poetic, abstract, philosophical, transcendent concept that exists inside their own heads.

Or those that conceive of "God" existing beyond human conception.

It's why New Atheists like me see believers as playing a game of make-believe …

And we perceive NO realism in ANYONE'S depiction of "God".

I can't see how my post warrants your response to be honest.

Here is a scientific approach to what one of the god's would have looked like:



Not surprisingly, most theists aren't fond of this image. They seem to prefer the imaginary.

Both sides forget that HISTORY texts, when they dare to do so, state Jesus' father was a Greek soldier named Panderia. So Jesus may very well have looked Greek.

Here is how certain Egyptians imagined "God".

This version of "God" is far, far older than the biblical version of "God"

The very best that can be offered for the Yahweh/Jehovah deity is about 1,400 years before Jesus burst onto the planet of his creation through the uterus of the Blessed Virgin Mary. And Yahweh is possibly not even Jewish …!

If a single male, In-the-Beginning, Garden-Walking, Planet-Flooding, deity of any name WAS God with a capital G there would ALWAYS have been such a version of God in the imaginations of humans.

Humans imagined "God" in many, many ways before anyone imagined the biblical Yahweh/Jehovah.

The biblical version of "God" is not God.

Not a soul here (or anywhere else I know of) has demonstrated in any way that the Two Men and a Bird version of "God" is any less imaginary than the presentations of "God" from other cultures shown here.

In my arguments against Christianity, I posit that the Christian versions of "God" are nothing more than imaginary.
