Bible says it looks like us. It took a lot of contemplation from a lot of people who were way more interested than I am to get to that point, so I'll go with their answer.

Never realized it before but Jesus always looks very feminine in those icons. He's a first century Justin Beiber. Annoying and androgynous.
Interesting observation. A manly jaw looks like this:


It's not too shocking when one considers historical context. Being "girly" is only a bad thing in recent history. Men in the past were regularly castrated because we all thought it was funny. It's like that joke where you wake up in a bath tub filled with ice and both of your balls are missing.

The opposite actually.

God created man in his image. And God is 'The Father' and Adam was created first, so clearly God is male.

I've always wondered how creationists denying evolution deal with three genetically distinct, major human races having evolved (Caucasians, Mongoloid, and Negroids) from Adam and Eve in only five thousand years or so.

Would you agree with this,.. "Descartes clearly identified the mind with consciousness and self-awareness and distinguished this from the brain as the seat of intelligence."

Or do you think the the mind is the brain and can't be distinguished?
No, I would not agree with that, since I'm not going to decide what Descarte did or did not do. It's better to cite Descarte himself. "Put Descartes before the horse" is a pretty funny joke btw.

The "mind" is an ambiguous word. I prefer to refer to the consciousness/soul as a screen onto which the brain is currently being projected. The one experiencing (the "screen") is you.

Oh, the consciousness and the brain can definitely be separated. For example, in theory, another brain could be projected onto your screen instead. That would be reincarnation or transmigration.

Gotta admit, that was pretty good! :thumbsup:

Yes, God has a form. I filled it out religiously, in triplicate. I've yet to hear back. I, ummmmm, pray that I will.

God and his heavenly minions (imagine a sort of celestial DMV) are mired in the kind of red tape bureaucracy Republicans wish to eliminate, along with any and all sin taxes. They want to outsource the deity. Their three leading candidates are Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Mitt Romney.

Yet even they know Dick Cheney is the devil. It's the smell of sulfur that gives him away. He doesn't floss. For years, he just didn't have the heart to. Literally.

In conclusion, yes, God has a form. It provides a tax heaven. It's like a trust. You can be the soul beneficiary. Sign here. And here. Aaaaand here.

He looks like a Pokemon. Probably a white Pikachu.

He does have a form; I mailed it to him personally.

It was a proof of existence form. It consists of two items; a box to fill in your name, and a check box indicating you exist...



He hasn't returned it yet.

Nobody can speak with any real authority on the nature of God, given that there is no direct observable manifestation of such a thing. Any discussion of such is pure speculation.
