God as a human?

I recently had a revelation. Someone ask if applying human qualities to a god degrades the notion of god.

One question out there is this. Why do we still separate ourselves from and lessen ourselves in comparison to any g concept? Is it possible that we are still unwilling to acknowledge how much we ourselves are capable of? Giving or applying and human qualities or attributes, physical or otherwise to a god concept is a way for some of us to engage the notion that we have yet to tap into how awesome we really are. The idea has to be grounded in some base of information that god is like us instead of the flip side of the coin that says we are indeed equal to a god, for most we have been trained for centurys that this is a very scary thing to even think. Punishable, some say, by eternal damnation of some sort. No degradation that I see...only the all of us working thru a quagmire of energies and information that keeps us stuck for now
