But anthropomorphic attribution works a certain way. At the most abstract level, (1) Take x. (2) instinctively infer x is the product or extension of an anthropomorphic deity. Almost exclusively, these bad anthropomorphisms are instinctive. When you pay attention you find very little instinct at play in the origin of Christian theism. |
