Your god is anthropomorphic. Yours perhaps moreso than any other, as it's said to have actually been a man, in the flesh. There's no escaping it, or arguing your way around it. Simply accept it. Does that matter to you, anyway? Does it matter to you that your anthropomorphic god leads to anthropocentric beliefs about command, worship, and morality? You mistakenly see your god as apart from man, then double down on this foolishness in the notion that because you believe god to be apart, this removes the anthropocentric taint. It does not and could not.
