How is a personal god different from an anthropomorphic god?
#23
RE: How is a personal god different from an anthropomorphic god?
There are many ways in which a god (or even an inanimate object) can be subjected to anthropomorphism.  Can you elaborate as to why you feel that the method makes a difference in this context...and what, specifically, that difference is?  I think you'd have to start there, otherwise your statements might be seen as vacuous attempts to evade concession. If you wanted to get really specific, how are we to determine "bad anthro" from "good anthro", regardless of what method it was arrived upon by?

Now, you're aware that the full thrust of anthro criticism is that there are few to no examples of "good anthro"...yes? That this is precisely the point of contention, this is why anthro raises suspicion? You understand that you are hinting at an incredibly bold claim, don't you? This had better be good, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
