If God were a man, he might descend on earth,
open shop down here,
like all the other fellows do .........

If man were God he would have power and mystic and majesty, none to be above him, exercising the parental wisdom of time and slow understanding, would this status benefit or overwhelm the fragile human-god? a thought beyond imagining, thanks

I had trouble grasping the full intent of your verses but I think I got the idea. I agree that this could be a better world if man simply became fully human in the true sense of the word which, in my view, means being as much like the good God we want to believe in; in other words, using our intellects and free wills to figure out what is best for all and to want everyone to enjoy it through voluntary sharing and genuine concern for each other. If our faith is true we already have a God who became Man and we already can become Godlike in a supernatural way. Why have we not achieved all of this then? Part of the answer is that we are not robots and that God does not interfere in our lives in such a way as to rob us of our free choices. I think you agree that this is not what we want.
Time is part of the equation too. We need more time, but I don’t know how much. Some individuals have, no doubt, achieved the desired state, but mankind as mankind still has a long way to go; consequently, I don’t expect any extinction of the human species too soon in the future. Our God is evidently very patient, despite the story of the flood, and we need to be patient too as part of our Sitz im Leben. As you say, the God who became Man was just like one of the fellows and many did not notice. We are just too much like animals and not enough like humans. So we go on hoping and hopefully trying to improve our animality

Your perceptions of God as a Man is quite metaphor.Well if God is a Man, then the women gonna love it.And this universe would be the most pleasant place to live. Keep it up, buddy.

A thought provoking poem indeed. God created all creatures including man, but he gave the sixth sense to man only, to think what is good and bad and then act. The other creatures go by their instinct. God lives in the heart of man and he tells the man not to do bad, but do only good things. It is the man who shuts the doors of his heart and does whatever he likes to do-both good and bad things. For every action there is a reaction. If he does good, the result is good. If he does bad, the result is bad, .like the proverb 'If you sow corn and you will reap corn'. This is so simple to understand and avoid bad action in one's life.
