Antropomorphism means assigning human qualities to gods or animals. A "classical" example are the Greak gods, who were quite powerful, but had otherwise all the human frailties (especially in their character traits). Another example is the animals in the cartoons, that look "too much" like people.

I think Doug means that your idea of God is all too similar to a human, but I didn't follow the thread closely.
