Visual Images

I was with a really neat group of people last night and the question was asked, "What do you think God looks like?" We started with the flowing beard, old man archetype, moved on to the new age energy vibe, and laughed over a Close Encounters type bright light, flowing robes version as well. Then we discussed Hindu gods; Greek and Roman gods; and the prohibition some religions have against imaging a visual of god at all. So, in the spirit of sharing and good camaraderie - What do you think God looks like?" Remember, there is no wrong answer. And you can pick more than one!

BTW - I came up with 3 versions - a bright light, the Da Vinci painting (the one with the pointing finger and stretched out hand), and the Close Encounters Aliens.
