Quote - This rather limits the definition of god to the current favourites.  Many of the Egyptian gods had human bodies, but animal heads.  Apparently, anthropomorphised gods have stood the test of time better than humans with bird or goat heads.

 

Considering he was obviously referring to the Bible in Genesis 1:27 - "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.", your example doesn't work.

nruddock was specifically referring to the god of the Old Testament, so whatever the Egyptians had going on isn't even relevant to this part of the discussion. And considering the thread title and topic, I'd say we've overall been dealing primarily with the Christian god this whole time. Or at least the God of the Old Testament, aka, God, Yahweh, Allah.

The Egyptians got it right at least though. If you're going to live in a fantasy world, might as well go all out and at least have interesting and varied gods to hang with. :D
