"therefore there is a part of god which does not believe that god in fact exists."

discuss.

 

[icxn]

We are not part of God.

 

[philN]

There is a distinction between being made in the image of something and being made of something. I can use Playdough and make a man in my own image, but that does not necessarily mean that he is made of a part of me.

That is to say: this topic begs the question of what it means to be made in the image of God. And I cannot find evidence that to be made in his image means to be made of Him.

Heh. That's a shorter way to put it.

What do you mean? Nobody knows or will ever know what God is. His nature is beyond human or angelic comprehension.

Agreed

we're busy bees here
asserting immaterialism?

I beg to differ
there is too much poetry in everything for nothing to be said
about god and man

"What are they made of?"

"Pepper, mostly!"

Atheists are like someone looking at the Lincoln Memorial and saying that Abraham Lincoln never existed.

Anyways, I concur. We are made in the image of God but not of God.
