[Strokes]

this emphasis on rationality is misleading... rationality ultimately refutes itself when applied to metaphysical concepts. Hence Wittgenstein's assertion that rationality is nothing more than a language game and a sign to us that we should stop pretending to know we're right.

It's true that rationality, when compared to metaphysical views, is directly contradicted because in that the two naturally butt heads. But rationality, or even metaphysics, not always substitute for an actual faith or in truth and actual understanding of the concept of being, because each in their own pose an argument of what comes with, not only the understanding of things, but common sense itself, and neither do always give the correct interpretation.

You don't need to believe in God to have a moral code. As for us being in 'his' image... I find that concept bizarre. Why place such limitations on God?

Yes as I said it is actually more than possible for a person to go about their life with correct moral principles, but if you believe in GOD this is where all goodness lies, and therefore we are like him because we want that goodness as well, and if you are to be created by one, you are like them whether you believe in their creating you or not.

And about the concept being bizarre, and placing "limitations" on GOD, what it means is that we are able to enjoy normal humane feelings, like love, happiness, etc., it does not mean in any way that we are actually like him, in every way, shape, and form, in all glory and what have you, but simply by mindset and emotion, etc.
