You say it isn't you, and maybe I believe it isn't you, but it is a lot of atheists. They can't get over the concept of the old man with long white hair and a beard who lives in the clouds. That image is not what religious people believe. That image is just an accommodation to children and retarded adults who are not capable of dealing with higher abstractions. What? Are you saying the Sistine Chapel ceiling is targeted at children and retarded adults? <image from Sistine Chapel> There's a lot going on in the world that doesn't fit your oppressively simple outlook. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is more than just an image of God. The opera La bohème is more that just a story about poor people. There might be a simplification of this or that going on in art whether text, painting, music, sculpture or other media, but other things are there as well. It does happen often that art operates on more than one level. News text is typically suited to very young readers (shorter sentences, shorter paragraphs, more commas, no colorful adjectives) despite the fact that there can be very subtle implications as well that only much more mature, educated and experienced people will be able to notice.
