Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

After all, if God desires fellowship with us, there needed to be fellowship in Himself in eternity past or He'd need fellowship instead of merely desiring to invite us to join the dance.

The Bible says we bear the image of God. Can the human qualities be actually reflections of God's nature in US? Polytheism might very well be a broken, flawed view of the truth about God?Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

Also, you calling the God of Christianity "anthropomorphic individuals" is simply you begging the question that the God of the Bible was created in the image of man, instead of man being created in the image of God. It's not God who is anthropomorphic, it's we who are theomorphic.
