Absurd is a loaded word. I agree it might not apply in my opinion to God having a body.
ab·surd
əbˈsərd,əbˈzərd/
adjective
adjective: absurd; comparative adjective: absurder; superlative adjective: absurdest
wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate.
synonyms:
preposterous, ridiculous, ludicrous, farcical, laughable, risible, idiotic, stupid, foolish, silly, inane, imbecilic, insane, harebrained, cockamamie;
unreasonable, irrational, illogical, nonsensical, incongruous, pointless, senseless;
informal, crazy, daft
antonyms:
reasonable, sensible, arousing amusement or derision; ridiculous.
But in my opinion one could put human consciousness as is generally understood (cohesive self) in the same light.
"contradictory to observed reality"
We observe a bunch of brain and body systems.
The human concept of God in the all powerful sense is merely putting the concept of god(s) into the driver seat of all that is instead of aspects of observed reality. It is like giving consciousness to reality itself. That seems contradictory to my observations of reality.
Whether it is absurd or not I don't know.
