in worship place all gods stay -wear -ride in gold made or costly things why?

The underprivileged and the downtrodden always admire the privileged class who always appear in costly and colourful costumes.

Gods can easily command respect by making them look like such privileged class!

The god/dess is valued, material wealth is valued, wealth as a symbol pf power is valued; therefore the status of the god's wealth reflects the city's, the nation's or the devotee's wealth.

As and example, check out the Parthenon, named for Athena Parthenos ("Athena the virgin"), hence her most famous temple on the Acropolis in Athens..

because man created those gods which seem to be so materialistic. That would not be the case if man worshipped the One True God - He is free of want and need

Dear Arden,

Hope u r fine, I received your question, here i would like to explain here some few words it is easy to understand. We have to beleive that the God means (you have to get something from him) god is the name of to support the human being, god is the name of to protect us, god is the name of to solve our problems. If we make God by our hands and he need some thing from us, which type of God it is????

On the otherhand nobody can see the God then how he wear the Gold and other materials ?????

This is our imagine may be God look like this and this.....etc...!!!!

But actual means there is one thing in our sence someone lookafter this or whole universe, and we have to beleive upon it. This is called as God, if I say (Allah-SWT).

Hope u can understand me and my thoughts.

Thnaks and Best Regards,

Your's Well Wisher.

Sayeed.

Dear friend,

Suppose you have a cute little angelic daughter.Will you not love her, do her favours unasked , and don't you decorate her in gold with good neck;aces bangles and Pattu Paavada or Parikini , with anklets with Small bells to legs and feel happy with her movements.Why you bathed her?Decorated her?Why you felt happy seeing her in the golden decoration.It is your love towards your daughter that made you do all this.None said you to do.

God is our father,friend,daughter and son all in fact.We love HIM more than any thing else.More than you love your daughter.So this love wants you to decorate Him in many ways and enjoy your self.It is for our satisfaction and happiness we do.He never wanted any thing from us except LOVE TOWARDS HIM,DEVOTION TOWARDS HIM.

This Love and Devotion make us want to see Him many ways in different dresses ,on different vehicles and we feel happy in doing so.

If you really love HIM you will never question again the same.

God bless you.

Mr.Krishna's answer suits to your question. Un seen god never ask for any thing, except sincere prayer. It is devotees attachment to god that make them to see him in an illuminated appearance.

It is the love of the devotees that they offer such things to the god.. it's the matter of love and faith..
