It seems like people are always asking thinkgs about God as if he was a man, as if he is one of us, with the same thoughts and actions. "Created in his IMAGE", not with a like mind. God, and his rationale is not like ours. So whether you believe, or are just trying to disprove, God, whatever he is, is not like us, right?

You make comparisons like this all the time. The computer KNOWS the answer. My dog if FAITHFUL. The bird LOVE to sing. Cat HATES his dinner. Computers don't actually KNOW anything or THINK. Who knows how FAITHFUL a dog really is beyond being a pack animal. Do birds LOVE what they do? We apply human characteristics to things to help us better communicate an idea. We do the same with God, but you are correct - the truth is we don't have much to go on. So we talk about Her as though she were a person to better comprehend what she is like. Sometimes we get carried away and believe She is every way the same as us.

The Bible tells us that God's ways are so much higher than our ways.
Isaiah 55:8-9
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
I am always amazed when I think about God creating the universe, the realm of time, and even life itself!
Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
Proverbs 3:19
By wisdom the LORD laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place;
He is not even hardly like us!
Psalm 148:13
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
Although because we are made in His image, He has given us some of His attributes, and a proper measure of understanding, therefore enabling us to have a personal relationship with Him!
How cool is that!

It is the nature of our material minds, and the limitations of material words.
God is like the whole first dimension of reality. And God sent power out
and created the other dimensions. We aren't God, but everything is
from God!

I respect your beliefs and I don't mean to put them down, but I believe that "god" or the idea of a "god"is a human invention - a fictional invention. Since it is human-invented, it can ONLY have human attributes.

In Islam it said like that (All you think of as God, God is then a different thing).... meaning that your small mind can never fully understand God's rational

God knows everything, we don't, God does everything, we don't, God looks like us, he made us,God knows what is best to us, we dont. God is a Father, so we must look like like him ... but not perfect has him!
