Depends on the version of the religious text/religion:
Jewey version = You shall have no other gods before me; you shall not make [worship] a false idol
Most Christian/Orthodox = The not making [worshiping] false idols
Catholic/Lutheran = Not taking the Lords name in vain

i often think that if god is god he is every where every when permeates every person, animal and thing...but if he had to interact with ppl and gave itself an avatar or allowed itself to be comprehended it would be a laid back funny person cracking jokes with me... possibly teasing me.
or some zen type monk being cryptic and pissing me off..
i honestly think it would be a mirror version of my inner self and what i would consider it to be the creator. an abstract
Which is pleasant to think about, but not really something with any practical value.

wrist guards made of platinum..
his eyes would be grayish green..
quirky sense of humor but with a lil dark humor hidden inside of his jokes...
Ah, now we're dressing God as well. Leather pants, 17th century garb, but with highlights in his beard. Yup, you've nailed it.

Seriously, there's a million people in the world like this (clothes notwithstanding). Don't you think God would choose to be something that might make him stand out a bit more? Or do you just want to feel like you have your own personal Morgan Freeman to talk to? As long as you're going to dream up things, might as well make it something more fun. In mine, I get super powers. Far more exciting than being chosen by God for something....less chance of crucifixtion too.
Not trying to be snarky with all this. I just think it's all pretty hilarious. Plantinum wrist guards is a nice touch...never seen anyone visualize God so specifically.
So Castle got me thinking, this isn't a bad idea.
My God is about 5'6", has short, straight, jet black hair, perky B-cups, green eyes, toned body, and a penchant for videogaming. Roleplaying and strategy games, nothing too action-y. She's nonreligious, well read, into hiking, doesn't need kids but wouldn't mind 1-2 with the right person, and lives in the same apartment complex as me. She is a Steelers fan. She works 9 months of the year as a well-paid law consultant, and takes summers off to travel.
Not God, you say? And yet I would worship her.

he is simply a reflection of myself.. when i look in the mirror i am looking at the creator...
any who the description was basically me a lil more glamorized and sporting my old color contacts.. and some pretty awesome clothes plus also a lil of Quetzalcoatl with description of what he look like from old legends..
its just an amalgam of my preference with a lil taken from my ancestral culture a lil flare with style and myself as the bases..
nothing said here has any practical value at all it is all opinion...

Is this your god, or a personal add? 😛

For real? I didn't know that... I wonder why it's different.
I think the numbering of the Commandments differs because some Commandments are split up into two different Commandments and/or re-wording some. Personally, I try to defer to the Torah when anything Old Testament comes up.
Which is ridiculous, considering they're supposed to be directly from God, so not sure why a re-wording and re-working was needed. Kinda like spitting in God's eye and saying "nah, you gots it wrong dawg, dis the right way."

Kinda like Christianity claiming Sunday as the Sabbath since those damn Jews already heisted Saturday, which left littlest brother Islam with Friday (no wonder so many Muslims always look pissed).

Originally posted by DigiBut ascribing human personality traits to God is pretty laughable. Any God who possesses human-like characteristics is limited enough to be beneath worship or the title of God.
Human traits have been applied to gods since forever. Displeased God - lets sacrifice -
Wrathful God - Lets repent -
Vengeful
Loving
Merciful
Compasionate
all these human traits and personality attributes have been applied to God since God as invented. Personally, i see him as a being - man shaped just because - but intangible as a dream person.

Mohammad should have been smart and just jacked both days; made the Islam sabbath Saturday and Sunday, meaning Islam is twice as good as those other religions.
