Gen 1:26 "And God said 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness"
I can understand how some people might misconstrue the word image. It has many meanings.
But the word likeness has but a few: Copy...Portrait...Appearance...Semblance
The people who claim that we don't look like God, must think that God cannot communicate with us using clear language.
Why does God need anyone else to translate what He has so clearly communicated to us?
What make you so much smarter than God, that you have to take His words, and creat your own definition?
Rev 22:18 says "If any man shall add unto these things, God shal add unto him the plagues that are written in this book".
Every time someone says "But that is not what God meant", then they are adding their own thoughts and conceptions to the verses. And that is wrong.

That quote is very likely a mistranslation of the original bible text, which was in Aramaic. There are few English words, from what I understand, which can be properly converted from Aramaic. For instance, in the original text there was another pronoun beside he/she or him/her used to refer to God, which the English language does not have. It was used to refer to a God who is a formless, genderless eternal energy source of life, the process of life who can take any form God wishes, but has no actual form at all. God is the form of everything, seen and unseen, understood and inexplicable. To think that we can possibly understand the vastness that is God is highly arrogant. Our limited human consciousness can in no way conceive of the magnitude that is God.
God isn't stupid...humans are!

I think some people think God is stupid because it makes them feel smarter. And they don't want to believe that they have to answer to God for everything they do in this lifetime. This scares them so if they think God is stupid, then they feel that they don't have to be responsible for what they do.

Cause they are ignorant and don't want restraints in their lives by the Laws of the Bible. They want to drink and party and have fun, even though they are miserable inside.
