God doesn't need anything, that is why people thank Him. You don't give thanks to people who do things out of necessity, do you?
For the same reason you used the word "man" in your first question.
Everywhere. The concept is called "omnipresence".
Man's (and woman's) likeness to God is spiritual, not physical. It means humans have a divine aspect. It means we have intelligence, feelings, emotions, moral values because God has those things. It doesn't mean we have genitals or nose hair because God has them.
So, where are the tough questions?

god looks like a smile, a kind word, that person who sits with the outcast, the person who will share their lunch with you when you've forgotten it, he looks like the person who holds you when you are crying and laughs with you when you are laughing, the person who is always there for you even if he has his own problems he sets them aside for you , god looks like the selfless lovesniffy said:

i thought you thought god didn't exist? sudden conversion?Medicine Woman said:
Interesting that, two posts up, you write about your imagination (none of it has any other source that can be tested) of what "god" is, but just above this one, you criticize someone else for exercising her own.
Not very intellectually honest now is it? But then, if intellectualism were at work, you wouldn't be talking about your imagination as if it were verifiable fact, eh?

So said:So where are the answers?
If god is omnipotent what need he of man?
In other words why are we here - for amusment purposes?
Why is god always referred to as he? You haven't answered the question.
If man was created in god's image what does god look like? Still unanswered.

We exist to live.
Historical usage derived from stereotyping authority figures.

I suggest you conduct a word study of the Hebrew word translated as image. Your question assumes that "image" must be visual. Though "image" could be visual, it does not need to be. Visually your question is the same as me asking you to describe what you look like based only on your shadow. What can be described, will not answer the question of what you look like.
