Humans are an incredibly vain set of individuals. Not because they get all prettied up and prance around in concrete jungles, but because of religion at large. Humans think that their God or Gods are shaped in their image...although technically in my experience they say humans were made in the shape of God, but really humanity created religion, so we shaped them like us. I'm not saying that there isn't a greater power. I would say there is one, but I don't think any particular religion has it right. They're just find pieces of the whole.
But I digress.
Humanity made religion, and humanity shaped their greater power to look like them. Why does god need to look like us? It really does not make any sense. If they are a god, then they are not us. Humans are not gods, even if we control the fate of our entire species with the touch of a button. So why? Because humanity is vain. It seems rather disgraceful. I do not think that the greater power looks like us, maybe it does not even look like anything. If it is too much for our minds to completely comprehend, then how can we assume that we can see it at all? I think that we should not worry about what it looks like, but more about what it feels like.
