Why do artists always depict God as an old dude with gray hair and a long beard?

What are you, Rosie now?   Artists do not ALWAYs depict anything.  

There are more ways to depict GOD than just about anything that was ever depicted and that idea is far from the most popular.


What about cave drawings?  I have not seen many old men painted in those caves.

To be fair, this is not the case in Hinduism. But then, THAT religion must be false, right? 

The answer is easy, the same reason Jesus so often resembles a fair skinned European: Biased Tradition.

Artists of the past were generally all [white] men, so were the prophets and most lead characters in scriptures, as well as the authors of scripture. 
Age denotes wisdom and authority, and traditionally, bearded males held all power and dictated the history. Old white men invented and spread the Judeo-Christian god, and man’s gods ALWAYS resemble the ideals of those who observe them. This post was edited by Don Barzini at July 14, 2019 4:47 AM MDT

     Because most people do not understand something
beyond being personalized.
They identify with their body thinking "This 
is who I am", not Understanding that their real Self is beyond
the physical body. So not realizing that which is beyond the body
and that they are not the body,
they attribute everything as to being a physical body.
