The Many Images

Some people tell me that they don't believe in a god.  So I say to them, "Well, why don't you get a God you can believe in,  Get your own God."  Use your imagination.  So many of us picture God, if we believe, as someone who looks human.  Their image varies in age, skin color, facial look and clothing.  But still human.  Why have a human God if it does not suit you?  Even the Bible came up with non-human images.  Look at Genesis 15: 17-18.  God comes into view for Abram as a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch.  No human characteristics to compare or critique.  The imagination is the key to your God-comfort, not your mind.  God as a pot!  Why not.
