which proves how flawed religion is, because they also believe that god made man in his own image. Tbh, if thats the case, then god is far from perfect

god is assexual (i think thats wat its called) and has both sets of anatomy and produced the world and everything in it himselfHaving both Female and counterpart Male anatomical sexual organs is called being a hermaphrodite..... Asexual reproduction is reproducing without the need of another organism....
Also I know that this was only meant to be a joke but, god didn't (according to theory) bring us to life through any type of "reproductive" cycle.. It was more like.. "Hmmm.. I am bored, Ok, I create light, dark, day, night, earth, birds, fish, animals, oceans... hmmm.. I'm still bored... .hmmm.. Let's create HUMANS.........Da dada da da.... Let's see, dirt, water, make it to my resemblance.... Ok, now let's breathe life into it...... I create ADAM... oh, needs a woman, ok then , he is asleep, let's take a rib and out of it I create EVE..."
Ok now on the religious faith part, hmmm how to explain it.... Ok I have got a good anology...
Ok, most or all little kids always look up to their parents, and see them as infalible and "super-human"... In essence they are their omniscent/omnipotent hereos.... They give them food, make them feel better when they fall, tell them stories, take them to the park, gives them toys, spook the scary monsters, and love them......
I see it as the same thing with us and god: He gives us support, he gives us this and that, we respect him back and pay honors to have created us... etc...... And in OUR eyes, he is perfect... just like to a little kids eyes, their parents are perfect... And eventually one day the little kid grows up and realises, "Hey, my folks are people, they aren't perfect, but I still admire them and love them... gosh, how much they mean to me"
So in a way my opinion is like that, except to a larger scale.. I do believe that to a certain point he is probably one of the highest "powers" and that there is nothing excrutiatingly large above him... So yeah, I do believe that God to a certain extent is somewhat "Omnipotent"/"Omniscent".... But I also think that most of the misunderstanding of the concept of "who is God?" is not his fault, that they are ours, because after all we are still only humans capable of error and each and everyone of us will enterpretate God and God's words in different ways, and that there is no "rcorrect" point through which to understand or reach God... (of course some of them will be more muddied and unclear than others but that is something different)...(I think this is kinda my belief part which I appear more quakerish, I believe that personal "enlightment" is based on your'e personal values and beliefs and "internal light"...)
Which leads me to talking about my other point which is that sometimes I believe that most or all God/s in most or all religions, are derived from the same central point or essence. (If you look closely sometimes at different tales or beliefs of different religions, you can see that all of them have certain different points that are shared between them or are similar to other happenings in other different religions... flooding, apple, symbolic appearence of snake/animals, origins of people....etc....)
And because of the impact of different enviroments and the unique individuality of each person, each region/person/culture will enterpretate events differently, and will modify it in occardance to their needs, also most traditional spiritual "stories" in ancient times were done orally, and naturally each time they were passed on to the next generation they were distorted a bit more and obscured/exagerated. Hence forth the many religions/beliefs/cults of today's modern world...
Nevertheless, I still think that God operates/rules the universe through the laws of science that he presumably created, so even he must follow certain or all of his own laws....
