mental pictures

I've never been a religious person--even during a short span of my life when I was young and identified as 'Christian', I don't think I really seriously believed in god any more than I believed in Santa or the Tooth Fairy--so it doesn't make much sense for me to even have this mental picture. But, have it I do and even though I'm just about as atheist as they come I don't feel a shred of conflict or cognitive dissonance.

Anyway.

Whenever I think of the Judea-Christian god--the only character in the Abrahamic religions not depicted as a person in religious art or statuary; Muhammed gets a body, though not a face--I picture a person in my head. And as long as I can remember, it's always been the same person.

This guy, the priest from the wedding scene in the 1989 Disney 'The Little Mermaid':

Yeah. The little guy in the weird hat and the glasses.

That's what the god of Abraham always looked like in my head. That's how he still looks, even though I don't believe in it.
