Rather a one-way mirror......

Why would he/she/it need a mirror?
If a god truly does exist, it has an answer for every question, a tool for every need... like a Swiss army knife with an infinitude of different attachments.
And yeah by the way though the Bible and other tomes conveniently suggest that god is male, that isn't necessarily true.
If god exists, IT may be sexless. But boy, a male god sure has helped many societies reinforce their patriarchical doctrine, eh? Men wearing whatever they want, women almost fully clothed outdoors? Men as the "breadwinners" in their households, while women by tradition cook and clean and bear children?
How many of these are biblical or scriptural and how many are truth?
I tend to think the books over time have been handed down with more and more favoritism for patriarchy.
I disagree that Man is the true reflection of god. Rather, man has conveniently been chosen as such by men in the past who saw a good thing and meant to sustain it into the future.
Say you were a man and had the choice to write in "Man and woman shall work alongside each other equally for equal pay". I think men and women both would be in favor of that, right? But, say man or woman got lazy, and whichever happened to have the power at the time decreed a more favorable arrangement, like "Man will be the breadwinner, woman will live to pleasure and be subservient to man," or "Woman will be breadwinner, man shall rub woman's feet all day and night"?
Sorry but based on even my relatively short span of modern experiences with human nature, it seems far more likely that the words of the Bible are largely tarnished by human corruption and bias.

Man is the true reflection of God, especially in the person of Jesus Christ.
"...And he created them, male and female, in His image..."
Notice the He. Notice the real reflection? Isn't it nice not to be ignorant for one day?

You mean himself and no, God doesn't need a mirror, because He's not vain enough to use one.
