"Now, sophisticated Christians and sophisticated Hindus think beyond images. For example, a Christian may think of God as the Father, but a sophisticated and educated Christian does not imagine that God is a cosmic male parent with a white beard sitting on a golden throne above the stars, nor does a Hindu imagine literally that God is the super showman, the big actor. These images are what it is like, not what it is."
