Exactly. Not to mention that if you take it literally, God is both male and female.

Apparently not.

sure, and both an RC car and a real car are controlled by people, both move forward and backward, etc...

Who are you to say that "being made in the image of something" has to follow your specific criteria?

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Image meant more than just looks though.[/QUOTE]

me caring

.

I'm not giving any criteria. Who are YOU to say that it doesn't mean what I mean it.

ZOMGF, HYPOCRISY (ps, using arguments that can be turned back on you isn't advised).

I'm not. You're the one saying that it's incongruous. I'm saying "not necessarily"

Ugh, whatever, changing your argument is fun!

where did I change my argument?

Show me the quote where I said there was specific criteria for being "made in an image"

I'd turn that one back on you, but you just did that yourself.

stupidity warning applies there also.

Adam was such a prick.

but if sin is an inherit thing like I've interpreted the religious point of view, wouldnt that then be traced right back to god? (not trying to argue, just asking a question)

*Technically yes, because everything is traced back to God. God, however, did not cause us to sin. He gave us the means to, and we did it ourselves. Adam and Eve were created without sin (in the image of God), but they were given free will, which they used to disobey God, thus introducing sin into the world and corrupting themselves (no longer in God's image) and the entire human race from that point on. Since Adam and Eve only procreated after they sinned, and since everyone is descended from them, everyone has inherited their sin.



*(Disclaimer: I realize that not everyone believes this, and I also realize that some find it very annoying when someone else states things like this as fact. Knowing this, keep in mind that this post is what I believe, based on the Christian faith as it has been taught to me. I am not telling or asking anyone to agree that these statements are true; I am merely answering a question. Feel free to disagree, but if you must argue, please do it somewhere else.)

Mormons believe that they are responsible for their own sins, and not the sins of their ancestors.

I eat shrimps. Satan was my dad. Saint-Anne (satanne hahahah *chokes*) was my mother.

You are all shrimps, I shall eat you.

[QUOTE=Vincent Valentine]Mormons believe that they are responsible for their own sins, and not the sins of their ancestors.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't say that we are responsible for the sins of our ancestors, but we are born in their image, which is sinful, and thus we too inherit sin.

According to my beliefs, that is; I'm not saying that the mormons are necessarily wrong.

I'd just like to point out that the parody is flawed, by the following rationale:

1. If God hated shrimp, he'd want them all to be burnt to death and then eaten. Pain, you see.

2. By the same reasoning, protesting against seafood establishments like Red Lobster etc would merely be freeing the shrimp from this torture. (Shrimp rights?)

3. The "evidence" given sugggests that God wants to preserve the shrimp, rather than have them destroyed.

Voila. You know, stuff like this makes me realize: If you make up some bogus excerpt, word it so it sounds archaic, and throw a Biblical chapter number on it, almost nobody will bother looking it up.

I wasn't trying to argue, thanks for the answer, It would be easy to point out flaws with that, but thats almost anything associated with religion, thanks
