Equivalency

[wesmorris]

If all men are created equal
and god made man in his image,
then you are god
I must worship you
for you are as is god's image.
you must also worship me
for I am as is god's image.
I must worship me.
We must worship us.
is this the wisdom of Jesus?
is it the wisdom of Mohammed?
is it the wisdom of God?
or is it the wisdom of man?

thanks. no really, thanks. :bugeye:

I totally forgot that that might not have been wisdom.

interesting logic my friend... but you are totally missing the point... just cuz God made man in His image doesnt translate literally... He has given man the ability to acquire the virtues that He possesses... not that every person who walks talks and eats is a mini version of God... of course you cannot attain the level of virtuous character as God, you have the ability and choice to act in a very virtuous manner... i believe that is what is being said in the Books... and of course, this is my personal point of view..

So what you are saying Wesmorris is love thy neighbour!? You are saying that all men must treat each other equally!?

I believe that I understand the poem, and I agree. The point of the Bible and religion is to love, not to try and convert others. If God truly did create people, he did it so that he could see the happiness of our creation and celebrate our life.

Anyway, sweet poem.
