the English thing is funny.
not to turn this into a religious thread but , as you might guess, I don't have a problem with GOD speaking to us or "being like us" in certain respects.
God is large enough to make himself relateable to anything, everything and every creature he's created in the Universe. the fact that there are aspects of our being that are like Him is not a limit on him. We have aspects like him but we don't have all of his. We have no idea and may not even be able to conceive of his full nature. We can't limit his description to us us but we can start there in some respects.
It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
