This is What 500 Christians Think “God’s Face” Looks Like. It’s Full of Bias.
Vox’s Brian Resnick reports on a recent study that explores how American Christians perceive the concept of God. Using a photo comparison method, participants constructed “God” and “Anti-God” images, with the results averaged by computer. The study found that people cast both the image and personality of God as a reflection of themselves. The participants “described the averaged photo of God as being younger, more masculine, attractive, whiter, intelligent, and loving compared the anti-God photo,” Resnick writes.
