Know Thyself 
Funny how theists never have evidence for their imaginary friends, just poor analogies. Alas, for you, clay and pots exist and we have evidence for them.
For your particular imaginary nonsense, nothing at all, just hundreds of cults that make the same baseless claim.

I think you meant that clay exists and that we have evidence for that. The pot was analogous to people and clay to the god.
You are correct still.
There is no evidence to support the assumption that a god is even possible.

Clay is made into pots. You seem a little confused when you claim that the clay was refering to this god.
“Yet, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.” Isaiah 64
“Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one object for special use and another for ordinary use?” Romans 9

Maybe you’re confused on how analogy works.
Those who (people) say “God doest exist
Is like
The pot saying “clay doesn’t exist”
So are people made out of god(material)?
Or is Clay analogous to a supernatural entity with no detectable presence and no justification for presumptions that it can exist?
It’s either saying clay is not real or people are made from supernatural substances that probably don’t exist.
The Bible saying we are made of clay doesn’t fix the analogy it just shows why the Bible is not a scientific literature.

By God is meant not a person but Consciousness. What is meant by pot is that it is just a name-and-form, just like the human body-mind, hence people are like pots in that they are just names and forms. Just like the substance underlying a pot is clay, the substance underlying people is Consciousness. Please check out https://selfrealization.blog/2018/09/18/everything-is-consciousness/

I don’t follow links in comments where religion is the topic. I can read the title of it and it suggests panpsychism. It still fails by its presumptions that carry no empirical evidence.

That’s still not right, Aaron. There is no where that the pot says the clay isn’t real in the bible. It’s the potter that can’t be shown to exist.

Are you okay? Can you not read the post I am responding to? I am not responding to something not said in a work of fiction. For you to claim I am makes me wonder about your mental capacity. That or this is the worst strawman I’ve heard in a while. It’s so bad it’s not even an argument. What are you going to make up next?

well, that was incoherent.

What incoherent is arguing that I am making claims from a book. I am just pointing out the fallacy in the qoute shared above. You keep quoting the Bible and saying it’s me quoting the Bible. That’s incoherent.

Aaron, you have claimed that the passages in the bible about clay and potters say that this god is the “clay”. That is demonstrably wrong.

Well I didn’t make the original analogy that was being quoted. The Bible is a confusing work of toilet paper. That’s why I was just pointing out the comparison made in the quote. People are not pots.
