So, Christians do not believe that their God created them in his own image? Interesting. That must be in the scriptures of some other religion I've heard of, then.
As the God you're describing exists in all of our computers and in cyberspace, it's remarkably inconsiderate of him not to contribute a post or two to this thread which would resolve the discussion, IMO.
But then, he goes in mysterious ways his undetectable wonders to perform, doesn't he?

How did you arrive at that conclusion because I clearly never suggested that?
Not clearly never because you said, and I quoted:

In addition to the implications of the two words I've emphasized, I wasn't aware that Christians are present "at all points in time and space time", and therefore they can hardly be the made in the image of the God you're describing.
