"A followup on my (Corky's) view of God (as though this has any signicance to anyone - *smile* - gotta laugh at myself, too!) In my mind I don't think I can comprehend what God is like; I cannot comprehend how great he/she/it is.  The temporal things like personality, bias, opinion, gender etc. are all below God, who is omnipotent, who is endless love &amp; on a level we cannot begin to grasp. What if God is not like I envision?   Well, if it is true that God is like us as humans - or we are like him - I think I just might be in for a big, big surprise and a world of hurt after this one.  The God of the Old Testament is somebody I would not want to cross, and my thoughts &amp; opinions in this life are certain to do just that.  If this is the case, I'm toast, I blew my chance in this life &amp; I guess I'll have to take my medicine. If we are made in God's image, is he Northern European, like in most of the Christian paintings of him?  Is he African, like the painting Pastor Davis has on his wall at Calvary Baptist Church?  Maybe he is an 8 ft tall Asian, who could make Shaquille O'Neal look like a 60 year old dwarf. I really don't think he is like us (or vice versa).  I think human beings are very similar to God's other beings... ie, we are glorified rats compared to God.  Borrowing from the Hindus, I think the other beings have great value, too, and perhaps we shouldn't kill them, unless we must, though I'm a hypocrite in this regard, at the moment. It may be the hard core atheists are right and once we die, \"poof\", we're gone.  I try not to think about this too much, and I tend to take the \"lessons\" learned from the so-called Near Death Experiences (which I realize fully are very problematic in themselves): - Learn to love your fellow humans!!!!! Everything beyond that is the very human window dressing that we are so adept at adding to simple &amp; beautiful things.  We're trying, though - and I give us credit for that. "
