I have other reasons for ignoring that, and a Christianity is perhaps the most anthropomorphic of all religions. It is like throwing stones when you yourself are in a glass house. It is in my opinion one of the greatest flaws of Christianity.
An omnipotent dude who created everything (and man in his image) and watches everything you do and judges you on it is irrefutably more anthropomorphic than some embryonic concept that life is emergent or that the universe may seek an eye to view itself.
If I was you I would not wade into any existential debates waving anthropomorphism around as a defense of Christianity.
That said i guess you are right in that nature is a word and a concept created by humans. I however, am not really talking about words or language but a concept you and I will probably never agree upon because of ideological differences. No harm - no foul.
....and Judaism isn't a powerful force extolling an anthropomorphic view of the universe? It's the same God, same Old Testament, the same spooky language and anthropomorphism . Ad Hominem attacks do not change this fact.
"Jews normally do not pronounce this name, considering it too holy to verbalize."
Nice retort, you went from smug and cocksure to calling me names to mute fairly quickly. Anthropomorphism is your hill to die on if used in this manner. Organized religion is highly anthropomorphic and you seemed blissfully unaware of this fact despite bandying the word around like a club wielded by a neanderthal.
Like I said, you really should not wade into any esoteric debates using this as a platform. Having seen how you deport yourself I would furthermore venture:- You should not wade into any debates at all.

Yahweh (יהוה) (ya•'we) is the primary Hebrew name of God in the Bible
Lol. You mad?
