We were created God’s image. Calling ourselves “he” is the reverse of anthropomorphism in this context. That is, we call ourselves he because God is the first He.

A more Chestertonian way of putting it would be to say:

We're not anthropomorphic. God is Theomorphic.

Cheers!

God is Theomorphic. Well put.

Good to see you again, GW.

This reminds me of the time honored question asked of 6, 7, and 8 year olds. To whit: “God does not have a belly button, and this can be proven. How?”
