This is meant to be tongue in cheek or serious. Take it as you want it.
I have flucuated between God being:
A Black Woman who is simply beautiful in a flowing purple robe and turban telling me, " Honey, you got yourself into this and now you want me to get you out of it? Uh huh, I don’t think sooo."
and
**An Old Jewish Woman ** Put any image in your mind, but the voice, OY! " So you must be in some kind of jam to be talking to me. I’m sitting here like yesterday’s newspaper wondering why you never call. But, I’m not complaining, mind you. I keep busy playing canasta with my indian neighbor, Ganesh."
For some reason, I always picture God as female and wearing a lot of beads, and being kinda like the Oracle in the Matrix. Maybe less cryptic, but probably not.
And I definitely picture Ganesh in my head, by the way. He is the god of good luck and remover of all obstacles, so I do have mental conversations with him when everything seems fubared.
I kind of had the concept that God didn’t exactly have a tangible physical appearance but was perceived as a pillar of light, much like how he was described in Milton’s Paradise Lost (a very good piece of literature by the way)
I’ve never thought of God as having a face I associate with anyone I know, but I do think God in person will be like my maternal grandfather. Heart of gold, with a bit of an ornery streak…
I always figured God sounded like James Earl Jones if a man and Pearl Bailey if a woman. Can’t you just imagine God being amused and chuckling like either of them.
My ex-girlfriend had a dream about this guy wearing a t-shirt. The shirt two baracuda, each with a gaping toothy mouth trying to bite the other’s tail. In the center was the legend:
WARNING: THIS IS GOD
She thought it was compelling enough that she had the shirt made.
But MHO - if you want to know what God looks like, just take a look around you.
