Are you arguing for something very much like a human or kind of, sort of like a human but not very much?
Merely arguing against atheism isn't enough, since the point of this thread was to show how you get from mere theism to religious theism. Better yet, how do you get from "kind of, sort of like a human but not very much" to "very much like a human?"
What are you theists arguing for? If not an anthropomorphic god then what? If god is indefinable or an indefinable "intelligence" then I don't see how arguments are helpful.
Here's a thought, if God is vastly different from humans, then talking about God as a human is wrong. Revealed theology talks about God like God is a human. I don't need to complete the syllogism.
