Only by the Satan worshippers.He is described as a vile genocidal and infanticidal god
The animals have the form of Gods angelsOkay, let's put the Jews aside for a while. I repeat once again - what does 'created in God's image' mean according to your view? Can you answer my question directly and using only one statement?After all the adulteries of the faithless one, Israel, God finally cut her loose (Jer 3:8).I think that 'in God's image' means the ability to create and having mind.All through the Old Testament, after the Garden of Eden, when the "holy people" spent their time engaged in debauchery, drunkenness, incest, violence, adultery, the secret arts, and all the rest - all through their history plagued with the fruits of idolatry, ultimately resulting in their divorce from God - do you think they were bearing God's image?How God's image depends on grace? What does 'created in God's image' mean then, according to your view?he fell from grace, man bore God's image. Since reconciliation on the Cross, man bears His image again
You are not pleased with 'holy people' of the past. Okay. Are there 'holy people' now who dont engage in all those sins you mentioned?
Here's a bit of history for you on the Jewish Age:
Though a valiant effort on the part of the chosen, the Age of the Law and the Prophets accounted for nothing. Priests sacrificed animal after animal on the altar, the blood of each availing little more than temporary absolution. Prophets uttered prophecy after prophecy purportedly from God, the veracity of each by law under scrutiny. For her generations of this repetition and uncertainty, Israel habitually wandered, and so received her certificate of divorce from God in the eighth century BC when Assyria conquered her. God, however, refused to forget His people, and Cyrus the Great, the Persian who defeated Babylon, commissioned the exiles to return to Judah and Benjamin in the southern territory of Judea to restore their temple and priestly order. But then Judea would receive her divorce certificate in the first century AD when Rome would conquer her, and the nation would never return to her first love; Israel would utterly and forever forfeit any matrimonial connection to her Creator.
The holy people were idolatrous, adulterous sinners, not unlike their pagan neighbors. A new holy people - the Christians - would be the ones to bear fruit for God and inherit the kingdom (Mt 21:43). The holy people now do not worship idols. They bear God's image.
Jesus WAS the OT God.Jesus is just a smidge less immoral than his demiurge genocidal father
Atheist always do. For a group that claims they're not a religion, they sure proselytize in every religion thread. They're worse than the JWs and the MormonsFor someone that doesn't believe in any God, the OP sure seems to hate what doesn't exist.
How about just letting folks believe what they want as we puny humans really don't have a clue either way?
Yeah, that is a good joke.The animals have the form of Gods angelsOkay, let's put the Jews aside for a while. I repeat once again - what does 'created in God's image' mean according to your view?

Man, Has the form of God.
That is all
One perspective on stories developed about deities associated with celestial bodies is that science theory is included in the development of those mythologies .Not that I know of.
We do not hold any supernatural beliefs. Our historical focus, and my own penchants, have me focusing on morals that had the ancients call Yahweh a vile demiurge.
We are also not literalists of our own myths and use them as talking points only, even as some of our works can be taken literally.

The depiction of this nasty little god does exist, which is clearly what he was talking about. Try to follow, these are simple, English sentences.For someone that doesn't believe in any God, the OP sure seems to hate what doesn't exist.
It would seem difficult from the hour father than issa would remain forgiven were issa to no longer forgive .Jesus WAS the OT God.
He said He came to REVEAL THE FATHER.
Before this, the world didnt know about the Father.
You guys who think Jesus is the "nice" son of an "evil" father, will be in for a rude awaking
There is not a difference between creed and religion as both are based in tenets and edicts , even when tenets conjecture existential intercession ; and , secular humanism is as much a religion as moral fundamentalism , with both often annoying in their own unique and profoundly absurd weighs .Atheist always do. For a group that claims they're not a religion, they sure proselytize in every religion thread. They're worse than the JWs and the Mormons
" Bias Of Affiliations Illustrating Definitive Lines "
* Legitimate Aggression And Creed Of Individualism Entitled Through Citizenship *
Those promoting equality often confuse equal protection from government with equal endowment through government , as the two are not the same .
* Rigorous Rules Necessary For Discussion *
By definition , violence is illegitimate aggression , while self defense against violence is legitimate aggression .
According to theory for individualism , a definition of illegitimate aggression may be a valid threat to implement aggression , or an actual implementation of aggression , against the elements of self ownership ( free roam , free association , progeny ) or self determination ( private property , willful intents - contracts ) .
A negative wright is a law phrased as a proscription for authoritarian action by government , whereby one obtains a negative liberty from government to act freely without its interference .
A positive wright is a law phrased as a prescription for authoritarian action by government , whereby one may obtain a negative liberty from other individuals to act freely without their interference , or whereby one may obtain a positive liberty from other individuals to not act freely without their interference .
Thus individuals would be equally protected to privately practice behavior of creed within ethical constructs of non violence principles .
* Equal Protection Against Illegitimate Aggression *
All individual members of a collective state are entitled to equal protection against illegitimate aggression when its constitution includes non violence principles as part of the social civil contract .
One may exercise the self determination element of individualism by not being prohibited through government from free use of private property , by entering into valid contracts , or by exercising power of attorney , or by exercising writs of willful intent .
* Legitimate Aggression Against Equal Endowment *
A purpose for extending social security coverage to spouses is account for procreation in a traditional family where a female as a home maker does not enter the employment market and is consequently allowed to receive social security dispensations based upon contributions from the male spouse .
Why would a lexicon of bread winner and home maker apply to individuals whose social civil contract ( civil union ) is physically unfounded in procreation ?
Made in God’s image. Yuk. Not me thanks.
Yahweh, it is written, created us in his image.
He is described as a vile genocidal and infanticidal god, a demiurge to us Gnostics Christians, and is responsible for a religion that has become homophobic and misogynous and who grew Christianity by inquisitions and murder.
This is not surprising given that so many of Christianity’s moral tenets are immoral. Christianity lacks moral tenets with which to convert. It takes pressure and force to believe the weird Christian take on the otherwise decent Jewish beginnings of their religion and god. Christians should have usurped some decent god as without Midrash, Yahweh is more like an evil Satan than a good god.
If you think you are created in Yahweh’s image, and able to do his evil and good deeds, are you happy about it?
If you do not think you are up to Yahweh’s evil ways, are you happy about it?
