Imagining the Divine - Part 1

Jack Donovan and Christopher Robertson begin a discussion about the pros and cons of anthropomorphizing or personifying gods. Some of the most beautiful figurative art in the word depicts gods or religious themes. Other religions forbid the depiction of gods.

Is it better to imagine a humanoid figure or to speak of gods and ideals in terms of broad concepts and natural phenomena?
