I personally treat "God" as an anthropomorphism of concepts that are beyond my understanding. Just like some children might imagine that there's little people inside a TV, sometimes it's convenient to apply human characteristics to things I don't understand, especially during emotional distress or when dealing with weak-minded people.

Other times, it's better to take comfort in accepting that I can't know everything and realize that the scientific method tells us far more about this subject than imagination. It just requires a big dose of humility.
