Or that the Jewish and Christian Gods sit on a throne (metaphorically or not), awaiting the day that the Messiah or God's son, arrives upon earth in the form of a man (pretty sure they meant that literally), for the first or second time depending on which group of silly believers we're talking about, at which point each person will be judged and sent to the equivalent of Homer's Isles of the Blest or Hades, did you miss? Must I really have need to continue or do you simply not consider such shoddy storytelling "bad anthropomorphism"?
