Anthropomorphism
I believe that if God exists it cannot be apart of this system. We are but creatures that exist and we must eat, we must sleep, and to an extent we need to be part of a routine to buy food and to have shelter to sleep in. But God perplexes me. I oft sat and questioned "Why this"... It was then that I realized there is no reason. God cannot be held within reason or logic, God cannot be defined by man.
It is without question, in my mind, that God gives enough of Himself to stir our hearts in order to seek Him and ferret out the Truth. But, most assuredly, there could be no way for us to completely wrap our minds around the awesomeness of almighty God without us being God ourselves. I find myself in agreement with you on the implausibility of an anthropomorphic God, but I would be hesitant to impute no logic in the matter or no actual purpose for why God does what He does. Just because we cannot perviece the totality of reason does not neccesarily negate the existence of it. If God does exist I'm sure it will be one of those, "Oh, so that's why its like!" type of things when its all explained to us.
