What do you think God looks like?

I imagine him wearing a big, white robe with a big sombrero on his head and a cigar in his mouth and holding a shotgun in his left hand.

I think the gun is pointed at you.

That was just plain mean, CKG.

Foxxi is ok

He looks like Cheech Marin

something like mister miyagi i guess

alanis morisette.

To me he looks like a guy with a joint in one hand, the remote in the other, sitting in a laz-e-boy watching the earth on a plasma T.V.

Probably like "God" in Bruce Almighty

we're all going to hell for this............

we're all going to hell for this............

Well, probably not specifically for this. I'm sure he can get me on something else if he wants to.

very cool question :D
but I worship Loki
and Loki is a shapeshifter
:?
XDXD
actually I think he'll look somewhat old-ish
with those shiny white hair that some people have, where you take one glance and can tell they are really healthy

I dont know what my god looks like, but I think something like.... 8)

I worship the sun. Liek many others agree, I believe it what I can see. I can see the sun, so I'm a sun worshipper.

you look hot in a bikini?

we're all going to hell for this............

are you kidding me? they're going to name a street in Hell after me! I have already bought a condo in hell!

I did an English assignment on this once. I drew a God with a mask that was gold but compleletly smooth. He was real buff, and he was dangling some dude from a string over hell. He had a lightning bolt and a big FURRY purple robe. His belt buckle was teh misfits skull too. I don't remember the rest.

Large-haired guy with sunglasses, a big cigar, purple suit, giant orange tie, and a cardboard lightning bolt.

God would look like-----well, a God. Tall, good looking, appearance of about 35 years of age. Muscular. Non smoker. Patient, tolerant and loving, unless of course you really messed up badly and forgot to ask for forgiveness. White robe for sure and sandals.

Someone has got to do it. Here you will see a picture of the Atheist God











god

i'm my own god.


actually no, jimi hendrix is god.

i'm my own god.


actually no, jimi hendrix is god.

Hi!

And Jimmy Page is God, duh.

Different for each person... but that's just me.

I totally believe it could be this:

Or like Dogma (which is a GREAT movie) says, like this:

Unless it's this:

Whatever it is, I think God is so unfathomly powerful we are completely unable to comprehend or percieve him by way of vision.

or maybe he's simple, like this:

The Abrahamic traditions (Jewish, Christian, Moslem) teach that there can be no image of God, that this reality is beyond depiction. The attempt is idolatry.

It's tempting to specualte, of course.

The Gospel of John, while reminding that "no one has seen God" goes on to say of Jesus that "He has made him [God] known". That's my mental picture: God looks like Jesus.

Probably a very typical 30 year old guy. No robes or long hair, that would be anachronistic. Short hair, goatee, light brown hair and eyes, 5' 9", 165 pounds. Wears khakis, a solid color pocket "T", Converse sneakers.

That's God.

:roll: To speculate on what god looks like requires one to assume that a supreme being would actually have 'form' that humans could percieve, I make no such assumption.

How about:

And Jesus was Darth Vader.

I imagine the universe, since if God is infinite he must necessarily include the Universe in his being.

I think God looks like Jesus, but a couple inches taller, and wears awesome Ray-Bans. Also, I think God listens to bands like the Cure, and the Smiths.

Personally, I think God's the pothead hobo who lives around the corner from the Albertson's a block away. I mean, he has to be on something to have created this piece of dirt, covered with beings that want to kill each other. As soon as his high is over, he will either get some more pot and earth will continue to exist, or he will quit pot and earth will be blown into oblivion.

This is, of course, just my opinion.

Reminds me of Bill Hicks' depiction of Genesis.

"Oh my me! I left pot everywhere! I should never have had that joint on the third day... heh heh, that was the day I created opossums..."

YaY!

Let's look at the actual description of God via the Book of Enoch!

Chapter 14

1This is the book of the words of righteousness, and of the reproof of the Watchers, who belong to the world, (18) according to that which He, who is holy and great, commanded in the vision. I perceived in my dream, that I was now speaking with a tongue of flesh, and with my breath, which the Mighty One has put into the mouth of men, that they might converse with it.

(18) Who belong to the world. Or, "who (are) from eternity" (Knibb, p. 95).

2And understand with the heart. As he has created and given to men the power of comprehending the word of understanding, so has he created and given to me the power of reproving the Watchers, the offspring of heaven. I have written your petition; and in my vision it has been shown me, that what you request will not be granted you as long as the world endures.

3Judgment has been passed upon you: your request will not be granted you.

4From this time forward, never shall you ascend into heaven; He has said, that on the earth He will bind you, as long as the world endures.

5But before these things you shall behold the destruction of your beloved sons; you shall not possess them, but they shall fall before you by the sword.

6Neither shall you entreat for them, not for yourselves;

7But you shall weep and supplicate in silence. The words of the book which I wrote. (19)

(19) But you shall weep…I wrote. Or, "Likewise despite your tears and prayers you will receive nothing whatever contained in the writing which I have written" (Charles, p. 80).

8A vision thus appeared to me.

9Behold, in that vision clouds and a mist invited me; agitated stars and flashes of lightning impelled and pressed me forwards, while winds in the vision assisted my flight, accelerating my progress.

10They elevated me aloft to heaven. I proceeded, until I arrived at a wall built with stones of crystal. A vibrating flame (20) surrounded it, which began to strike me with terror.

(20) Vibrating flame. Literally, "a tongue of fire"

11Into this vibrating flame I entered;

12And drew nigh to a spacious habitation built also with stones of crystal. Its walls too, as well as pavement, were formed with stones of crystal, and crystal likewise was the ground. Its roof had the appearance of agitated stars and flashes of lightning; and among them were cherubim of fire in a stormy sky. (21) A flame burned around its walls; and its portal blazed with fire. When I entered into this dwelling, it was hot as fire and cold as ice. No trace of delight or of life was there. Terror overwhelmed me, and a fearful shaking seized me.

(21) In a stormy sky. Literally, "and their heaven was water" (Charles, p. 81).

13Violently agitated and trembling, I fell upon my face. In the vision I looked.

14And behold there was another habitation more spacious than the former, every entrance to which was open before me, erected in the midst of a vibrating flame.

15So greatly did it excel in all points, in glory, in magnificence, and in magnitude, that it is impossible to describe to you either the splendour or the extent of it.

16Its floor was on fire; above were lightnings and agitated stars, while its roof exhibited a blazing fire.

17Attentively I surveyed it, and saw that it contained an exalted throne;

18The appearance of which was like that of frost; while its circumference resembled the orb of the brilliant sun; and there was the voice of the cherubim.

19From underneath this mighty throne rivers of flaming fire issued.

20To look upon it was impossible.

21One great in glory sat upon it:

22Whose robe was brighter than the sun, and whiter than snow.

23No angel was capable of penetrating to view the face of Him, the Glorious and the Effulgent; nor could any mortal behold Him. A fire was flaming around Him.

24A fire also of great extent continued to rise up before Him; so that not one of those who surrounded Him was capable of approaching Him, among the myriads of myriads (22) who were before Him. To Him holy consultation was needless. Yet did not the sanctified, who were near Him, depart far from Him either by night or by day; nor were they removed from Him. I also was so far advanced, with a veil on my face, and trembling. Then the Lord with his own mouth called me, saying, Approach hither, Enoch, at my holy word.

(22) Myriads of myriads. Ten thousand times ten thousands (Knibb, p. 99).

25And He raised me up, making me draw near even to the entrance. My eye was directed to the ground.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Chapter 15

1Then addressing me, He spoke and said, Hear, neither be afraid, O righteous Enoch, you scribe of righteousness: approach hither, and hear my voice. Go, say to the Watchers of heaven, who have sent you to pray for them, You ought to pray for men, and not men for you.

2Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and holy heaven, which endures for ever, and have lain with women; have defile yourselves with the daughters of men; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like the sons of the earth, and have begotten an impious offspring? (23)

(23) An impious offspring. Literally, "giants" (Charles, p. 82; Knibb, p. 101).

3You being spiritual, holy, and possessing a life which is eternal, have polluted yourselves with women; have begotten in carnal blood; have lusted in the blood of men; and have done as those who are flesh and blood do.

4These however die and perish.

5Therefore have I given to them wives, that they might cohabit with them; that sons might be born of them; and that this might be transacted upon earth.

6But you from the beginning were made spiritual, possessing a life which is eternal, and not subject to death for ever.

7Therefore I made not wives for you, because, being spiritual, your dwelling is in heaven.

8Now the giants, who have been born of spirit and of flesh, shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation. Evil spirits shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy Watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth. (24)

(24) Note the many implications of vss. 3-8 regarding the progeny of evil spirits.

9The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, (25) which shall oppress, corrupt, fall, content, and bruise upon earth.

(25) The Greek word for "clouds" here, nephelas, may disguise a more ancient reading, Napheleim (Nephilim).

10They shall cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and they shall be thirsty; they shall be concealed, and shall not (26) rise up against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth during the days of slaughter and destruction.

(26) Shall not. Nearly all manuscripts contain this negative, but Charles, Knibb, and others believe the "not" should be deleted so the phrase reads "shall rise up."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Chapter 16

1And as to the death of the giants, wheresoever their spirits depart from their bodies, let their flesh, that which is perishable, be without judgment. (27) Thus shall they perish, until the day of the great consummation of the great world. A destruction shall take place of the Watchers and the impious.

(27) Let their flesh…be without judgment. Or, "their flesh shall be destroyed before the judgment" (Knibb, p. 102).

2And now to the Watchers, who have sent you to pray for them, who in the beginning were in heaven,

3Say, In heaven have you been; secret things, however, have not been manifested to you; yet have you known a reprobated mystery.

4And this you have related to women in the hardness of your heart, and by that mystery have women and mankind multiplied evils upon the earth.

5Say to them, Never therefore shall you obtain peace.

:roll: To speculate on what god looks like requires one to assume that a supreme being would actually have 'form' that humans could percieve, I make no such assumption.
The Bible states that "God created man in his own image".

:lol: Aahahahahh There is No God!!Maybe there was a god at some point in time but, To tell you the truth If I were to be god I would of looked at earth and thought **** it!!they are to dumb to care im here so I will start somthing new. Cause there are too many people that think there is no god to be a god any more you get what im saying?

The Bible states that "God created man in his own image". he ment he would make them as he wants to not as in how he looked like himself...

The Bible states that "God created man in his own image". :roll: An arrogant attempt by mankind to place himself in a position of importance. In truth the reverse is more likely. Since there is no way of knowing the form of a supreme being or unifying force (and I doubt mans capacity to understand the true nature of such anyways) a more accurate statement would be 'Man created God in his own image'.

My god is my mind. Simple as that. So basically, I am my own god.
