Thanks for standing up for me, RabbiO.Any review of the posts of @Clara Tea would indicate that, though her views might differ from yours, labeling her as an atheist would be incorrect.

Recording of the past is more mystery than history.If we're going to quote scientists then how about a quote from Sir Isaac Newton on the bible... There are more sure marks of authenticity in the bible than in any profane history
That i fully agree with you on, Hawking was a very good scentistHawking was a brilliant man before he was paralyzed. After he was paralyzed, and could only move a cheek muscle, he continued with the aid of limited electronics to speak, write, get around physically, and, most notably, do research and write books and theories on physics. He did more, almost totally paralyzed, than virtually any other human being.
So, he was not a God, but he was still remarkable.
Few realize this. Many great people can be recognized by their deeds, rather than their appearance. Virtually everyone has greatness within them.God is well seen by mind and heart. Not by physical eyes. But by mind-vision and heart-vision (soul-vision). Spiritual vision.
If Moses's countenance was changed on Mt Sinai because he saw God how can he be invisible
You have such a gentle and nurturing soul. Thank you for standing up for me. It would be a pleasure to go to heaven with you there. Of course, I'd drive every else nuts. Some might jump over the edge of heaven just to get away from me.She was joking, no blasphemy

When the bible says we are made in God's image it's saying he designed us after his likeness. That's not meant to be read as we were made exactly like God. Obviously we are not like God in the fact that we are highly flawed and he is not. Just as my children resemble me (after my likeness) but are their own people with traits that vary significantly from mine.Moreover, how can we be made in God's image? There are men and women....are they both in God's image? Does God cross dress?
Perhaps we are in God's image in the sense that we think the way God does. Yet, humans sin. Does God sin? God said that we were not supposed to covet our neighbor's wives, yet God had sex with Mary (married to Joseph at the time) and had baby Jesus.
Perhaps we are in God's image in the sense that we are not perfect, nor is God? Perhaps instead of asking God for forgiveness, perhaps we should try to forgive God?
1. Bob sins, but does not sin every single hour. Sometimes passes 2 or even 3 hours without any sin. Even tiny-tine one.Yet, humans sin. Does God sin?
