Ode to Yahweh

[Plane]

Clay can be used as a medium for storing information, like paper or floppy disks. Clay is inert and cannot act.

We have books made of clay, they might be the original book.
Books are recorded information and recorded thought, but they don't evaluate , compare or process this information.
Since human beings can both retain information and evaluate information we are much better thinkers than Clay.



God is perhaps that much better at thinking , if he is retaining all information and processing all information the amount of thinking going on must be tremendous.

And God may be doing things with his thoughts that we don't do, as books do not process their stored thoughts but we do , there could be a higher process for thinking that we don't do.

There is some clue in that we are created in Gods image, but I think this has a deeper meaning than that God resembles us physically, perhaps it is Gods nature to think ,and we are miniatures in that respecct.

Clay is not comparable to people.

IN one part of the Bible, it claims that God made us in his image. But when God makes one of his rare speeches to Moses, he takes the form of flaming shrubbery. Generally in films, God takes the form of a bright golden light that seems to dim and brighten with a booming voice.

Lately, God has been George Burns and then Morgan Freeman.

Clay is not comparable to people.

That is right , it is almost apples to oranges, except that apples and oranges have more in common than people and clay.

The problem is the same in comparing people to God. God is different enough as to make apples and oranges seem just about alike.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Since we have no idea what God is, we don't know how much like or unlike us he is.
Among my favorites for imaginative images are the God in the film Dogma, the God in the South Park cartoon, and the members of the Q continuum in Star Trek TNG.

You get more creative images in Google if you type in "cartoon image of God" rather than "Image of God". If you ask for "images of Gods" you get some interesting Hindu Gods,  plus some Egyptian deities.
