Abstract and concrete about God

Quote: Though we may seem concrete, our bodies are a mere accumulation of energies.
Quote: As for the meaning of abstract, let me claify. I meant abstract thinking, not neccessarily abstract being. People of faith may consider their deity to be concrete with their abstract thinking. Ultimately it is blasphemy to consider God as concrete, flesh, tangible.
Quote: Man can only liken himself to the IMAGE of god. If we wish to touch ourselves, we cannot hope to do so by touching a mirror image or a picture of ourselves.
Quote:But we can feel the feelings we had in the picture or sense the feelings we have in the mirror. Sometimes it just takes a moment to look at ourselves to truly understand. We touch the abstract part of ourselves in an abstract way.
Quote: And what you say is very true. There has to be some affirmation of a deity for most men to believe. Even my culture has "concrete" affirmations of the works of God, (mostly animals sent to show man when they cannot understand what "God" is saying).
Quote: It is the arguing that shows the lack of faith humans really have. There should be no need to defend whatever god you believe in. Just like guts, faith is enough.
