I find it fascinating that, in the first attempt to reconfigure G-d, the technical predisposition is to presume omnipotence while simultaneously precluding Divine persona, as if We are saying that He can be anything but a person. It is a strange compulsion to place limits on the unlimited.

We know of God because God gives us the limited ability to understand God as God sees fit to allow us to know God. We are not omnipotent or omniscient. We are creations of a Creator. A Creator that has manufactured a reality that allows us to know just so much, but not reality enough to know enough to comprehend what will most likely forever be incomprehensible. Locked within a "body", our consciousness or "spirit" can only comprehend what the body and mind is capable of understanding. When the vessel which holds the "spirit/consciousness" eventually fails, the "S/C" is released, perhaps to join with the Creator or Cosmic intelligence which is the Creator of all that is and has been.

No......I've not smoked anything stronger than a cigarette. ;-)

A god of one’s own creation is not so fearsome.

Genesis 1:26
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our likeness....”

Us? Our? = The Holy Trinity

Father: The Creator - visible in Human Creative drive
Son: Physical form of The Word made flesh
Holy Spirit: The super-natural interaction of The Word between the Father (creator) and the Son (creation).

Seems to me this likeness is strikingly observable via the human comprehension of beauty - especially beautiful music; as music incorporates elements of all three aspects of the Trinity. Mystery made comprehensible.
