I don't know. For a variety of reasons, some personal and some philosophical, I have to think of God as a person (actually, for theological reasons, I have to think of Him as three persons, but that's neither here or there). Among other things, it doesn't seem to me like a non-personal deity would be worthy of worship.

"The Germans believe that power must reveal itself in hardness and cruelty and then submit themselves gladly and with admiration[...]. They do not believe readily that there is power in meekness and calm."
