Answer 6

If you are asking why we show God as a person, it's because Christians and Jews believe we are made in God's image, as depicted in the Old Testament.  

If you mean why do each of us interpret God's word and will in our own ways, it's probably because we have no guidelines written by God's hand but instead have only God's instructions as told to us by others (Moses, apostles, priestly writers, etc.).  If you've ever read different versions of the Bible, you will find significant differences in many of the passages -- not just the way they are written but also the meaning.  Even within one Bible, you may find deviations from paragraph to paragraph.

Therefore, believers read the Bible and attempt to understand His will as best they can.  Since everyone's experiences are different, each of us may see different shades of meaning.

There's more than one god you silly theist, people can make as many of them up as they like. Religious gods aren't the only gods, and besides god doesn't exist so why should you care so much about it?
