What does in God’s image mean? He created Adam & Eve without a moral sense.

What does in God’s image mean? He created Adam & Eve without a moral sense.

I take, in God’s image, to refer to God’s and our mental image and not the physical. God does not look like us in any way. He and his form is quite alien to us.

Genesis shows that Adam & Eve were created without the moral sense that would make them like Gods. That being the case, they had to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to be in God’s mental image. That is without a doubt a requirement to the development of a moral sense and is confirmed by God after Adam and Eve disobeyed his command to stay dumb and without a moral sense.

If they were created in God’s image then they would have already had the moral sense that comes from the knowledge of good and evil and would therefore not have been tempted by Satan to eat of the tree of knowledge because they would have had that knowledge already. This would also mean that God was punishing them unjustly.

One must conclude from these biblical facts, that God did not make mankind in his image.

The only other logical alternative is that God does not have a moral sense and that he too, like Adam and Eve, was basically as dumb as a cow.

Could that be why God is shown as doing other immoral things in scriptures?

The two main ones that come to mind is God having his own son murdered for the forgiveness of sin when there was no real need to and the genocide of Noah’s day.

Does being in God's image mean not having a moral sense?

The in god's image part actually originates from greek mythology.

Quote
This task was given to the Titan Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus, for the two had remanined loyal to the gods at the time of the great battle and were still held in very high regard. Prometheus began by scooping up a handful of earth and carefully mixing it with some water.

He then began to mold the clay, making sure the mound was shaped in the image of the gods

Greek gods looked like humans and then they made humans which looked like them . So yeah thats how it came about but doesn;t make sense in the context of the biblical god because the phrase was stolen from the greeks. It makes more sense in context of their religion.

If there's is god then he is too alien to me, if there's is god among human, it's still too alien to me,
thinking of aliens too much is hazardous to my health.

Moral sense is a dynamic human ethics conceptual, everchanging by human observation and behavioral in time.

Living in this day, bound by it moralities, religion is an outdated dangerous moralities to me.

Suppressing people mentally with alien laws disregarding human needs in current societies, without consensual outlet, in fear, not bound by time, never changing dogmas and it's takes people life as a currencies for it's changes.

Islam is the prime example of this, defending morality values of it's prophet doing in history under guise from alien pretense, while punishing gays in this time and ages unaware of themselves still under the influences of alien self probe.

You must remember that not only in Biblical/ Old Testament mythology does it give mention to humans being made in God's image. Mankind wants to be the attention of everything therefore it makes since in every religion of the world, that man and God have some kind of special connection. It's pointless to try and make sense of this.

Also there is a double contradiction in the Creation story that pisses me off.

1. God created Adam and Eve who did not know what was evil or bad.
2. The Even gets punished for eating the forbidden fruit, when previously she did have a sense of wrong-doing before. It's like punishing a 3 year old for breaking something.

No argument from me on this but I include all the Abrahamic cults.

Because God was always a man.

Most have forgotten that or have just not dithered it out.

They have settled for a wish list God instead of stepping up to their rightful position.

I would like to do more here to support the forum but unfortunately my agenda is fighting Christian literalists and fundamentals and there are few of those here.

I would not mind finding an Islamic site or two that has not banned me yet, quite an intolerant bunch, but I have yet to find such.
