Perhaps you could tap into your the methods of your genetic doppleganger and manage to ambulate in a similar fashion, thus perhaps giving your knees a change to heal.

What a great idea. If you don't see me on here for a while you'll know I'm trying to work out how to do it.

Then He must see the world of disarray He has thus far refused to intervene upon, for essentially all of recorded history. (I use the pronoun "He" in keeping with the paternalisitc culture that conceived "Him")

One wonders about the impact of such a being revealing themself to the public. Would He be written off as a loon, branded a charlatan or accepted as claimed? Would He be pestered to perform miracles, to demonstrate His divinity, or find cause to loose His wrath? 

Perhaps it is best that such an individual remain anonymous.

It's one of religions' believing "God", so I think, he's different, I am not a Christian, nor Catholicism, but there's the reason of the believers who believe him.

How disrespectful that would be to think of God as a slob, the bible states at John 4:24 that,"God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth."  We are not like God in appreance but we do have his qualities such as love,justice,wisdom and power. Humans hove failed to use these wonderful qualities in the right way.

The bible is clear in letting us know the kind of person God is, a Spirit. John 4:24. Genesis 1:27, means that he gave us the capacity to reflect his qualities and moral standards, his sense of right and wrong.

The word for Image is Tselem. It's meaning is clear.
The word does not translate to "Qualities" but to likeness of resemblance.

Original Word: צֶ֫לֶם
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: tselem
image, likeness, of resemblance, ׳בְּצ (בָּרָא) עָשָׂה, of God's making man in his own image, Genesis 1:26

Likeness is correct, when it comes to being created in God's image. Parents have often say that their children act just like their farther or mother but may look like them. We are also told to be imitators of God, we do that by displaying his qualities as close as we can being in an imperfect state. Ephesians 5:1
