Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) constructed an astonishing portrait of God himself based on a survey of 511 American Christians.
The psychologists questioned a group of devout Christians to find out how they envision the face of God in their minds.
The surprising results of the study found God is not the archetypal bearded old man from Michelangelo’s paintings in the Sistine Chapel.
Instead, most people questioned seemed to think God looks like a young Caucasian man.

The article doesn't say, but I'm guessing the "devout Christians" they questioned there in North Carolina might have been white menfolk. You think? "Damn! That there looks like Beau, from over in Foxboro."
"And then, men created God. In their own image created they him."
