Yes, that's a standard part of the description.
Quote:and, so, God must share some attributes with Us, His Creation, or so the arguments go.
Do you mean that both God and people can't do things that are logically impossible? I'd agree with that.
That doesn't establish that a person's idea of how he would run a universe would be at all similar to an omniscient and omnipotent God's way of running the universe.
You're pounding on an open door. The whole idea of Christian theism is that God became man and walked among men, convincing some of them (historically, a tiny minority to be sure) that he was God. Now, I do not at all think that Jesus himself ever claimed that he was God or even divine, but, certainly, in the subsequent decades others began peddling that idea, and the meme took off, spread and morphed in a fragmented world religion that is with us today.
And, so, mistake or not, human beings at least have the capacity to be convinced that another person of their own rank is God. Is not the real McCoy, if He exists, capable of pulling off the same hat trick?
