The Face of God in Different Religions

Since, according to Christianity and Judaism, God created Adam in his own image, and yet people come in so many different shapes, colors and sizes, it would be nice to see how he (she?!) actually looks. But, since he doesn’t really care much for social gatherings, parties, barbecues and any other types of get-togethers, and still has no official Facebook and Twitter page, most of human beings didn’t really get the chance to see his face. Therefor, we decided to make a list of artistic representations of God by different religions to help give you a chance of recognizing your master in case he actually does show up to your next barbecue or my sister’s upcoming birthday party.

Those agents are responsible for an overwhelming amount of terrorist stings that have stopped major domestic catastrophes in the vein of 9/11 from happening on American soil.

Another thing those agents are responsible for, however, is plotting those very schemes.

This list offers a glimpse of a few of the lesser-known Germanic tribes, listed as a footnote to the greater and more glorified barbarians that helped push Europe to the middle Ages.
