Theists: why does a god have to be svelte and attractive in order to be a worthy god?

Seriously. Someone demanded to know how I could believe in a god like Buddha (FYI, Buddha isn't a god) that's fat and ugly. This isn't the first time I've seen/heard this. It crops up here in Y!A every once in a while, when theists attack Buddhism. How can you pray to a fat god?

I'm sorry. I didn't realize there was a photo shoot involved. Maybe the ugly looking gods were "airbrushed" until they were sexy and the laughing Buddha missed his turn or something.

Sheesh.
