If someone wants to believe that God looks like Aunt Jemima, who are we to mess with that? What matters is that they believe in God

This is not true. Aunt Jemimah does not equal Jesus Christ who lived a sinless life and willingly sacrificed Himself to save us from our own sin.

Accordingly, Romans 10:9-10 states "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

God works in mysterious ways, no?

Romans 8:28 (KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

BTW...Aunt Jemima wasn't a real person.

I think you are getting wrapped in the optics. And I still think it's more important that a person believe in God and not so important how they think God looks.
