So a personal God would have feelings-- and would need to have something to have feelings ABOUT. It would need a will-- and would need some reason to choose one action over another.That's an interesting way of looking at because apologists normally argue for a necessary being that is cut off from the universe by being necessary and not dependent on anything external to god's nature.
In other words, a personal God fails to infinite regress pretty much right away.
