Joan Osborne's 1995 pop single "One of Us" asks questions that we don't want to know the answers to. "What if God was one of us?" "If God had a face, what would it look like? And would you want to see if seeing meant you have to believe?" The music video for the song shows a "face-in-the-hole" booth at a carnival. The cutout shows a flowing white beard and robe, like the depiction of Father Time at New Year's. In the course of the video, one person after another poses with their face in the cutout: children, adults, men, women, black, white, pierced, well-made-up. What if God was one of us?
