Do you think of God as person or a force? Is it something completly incomprehensible and we make up identities about God that make him more like a really good human with a long white beard sitting on a golden throne? The discription of God in the Bible makes him out to be less than human. An angry God that needs blood to forgive is one wacky God. When I look around the universe it's beyond my imagination that it's all some cosmic accident. It appears to me that there is intelligent design for lack of a better term. I believe in God from a gut level. Not from reading a book about it. But what God is like is beyond my grasp to understand. I someday hope to have this mystery revealed to me.

as i understand god made man in the image of himself, but gave man the command not to make any image of him as non have seen him evan mosses was only alowed to view the back as he would die. So i gather god has form in some shape. but the white bearded old man is what came from M. Angelo in the vatican which is not what god wanted. But if you know the son then you know the father .

I go for The Ancient of Days, as depicted by William Blake (who saw God quite often, so he would have known). Blake did some other paintings of wild-eyed bearded men (not to be confused with God) who represent some of that gnarly, sinful energy that people pick up on when they try to dig the Vampire of the Old Testament. That god is called Urizen, or Nobodaddy (and he likes to clip children's wings).
I would like to see a picture of God's mother, Sophia.
