well, i'm not sure if anyone has brought this up in this thread, but here goes:
​
" mortals belive that the Gods are born and have human clothing, voice and form "
-Xenophanes
​
It rasies an interesting point eh?
​
if we stop and think: a question comes to mind: are we really created in the image of god, or are trying to create god in our own image?

the flood epic of mesopotamia/ babylon is about a man named atrahasis a king who is warned by Enki of a flood, not gilgamesh, but if memory serves correct, part of " atrahasis" is contained within the epic of gilgamesh.

just so you know...
