I agree that we can't anthropomorphisize God. The moment we even try and describe God we have reduced the incomprehensible to something that we can attempt to comprehend.
I can't say who or what God is with certainty, but I have always believed that God exists; even when I was extremely young. I think it's an instinct with a majority of humans; and is probably there for good reason.
If we're created by some being outside of time, matter and space, then we must have been created for a reason. This creator of all things must want us to at least be aware of this; or we wouldn't even entertain the thought.
There is also the issue of morality. C.S. Lewis was an atheist turned Christian. He denied God because of the existence of pain, suffering, etc. He then realized that all of those negatives forced him to acknowledge that good also exists, which pointed him to a good creator.
If we're truly just random beings that pooped into existence for no reason and no purpose, then morality doesn't truly exist, because if we're just matter, then we cannot judge matter, because matter doesn't care what other matter does. If we're just matter and chemicals (which are also matter) in action, then what we do is of no consequence. Maybe it's called "matter"; because we do "matter" and there is a God and a purpose behind all of this.
If there isn't, then we're just wasting our time on any type of spiritual quests and fooling ourselves because we'll all be dead soon anyway; so why not just eat, drink and be merry, the consequences be damned??
