Ever try picturing God? Of course, we have the handsome Anglo-Saxon God who just happened to emerge from the Middle East at the time of the common era. Or we have the stern father God sitting enthroned in heaven. But those don't work so well anymore.
If God doesn't exist, it's clear we humans need to make him/her exist. And it's clear an image helps. But how to achieve this? In the past we've turned to artists. Theirs are the images we hold onto now.
But artists don't seem much interested in this job. And there aren't many clients asking illustrators for images of God.
I've asked myself this question multiple times and come up with some interesting answers. Try it for yourself when you're just sitting around daydreaming.
