Conceptualizations of "God" inevitably and invariably fall short of the mark, just by virtue of attempting to put that-which-cannot-be-defined in a box. Whether Jehovah or Allah, Oversoul or First Cause, Hairy Thunderer or Cosmic Muffin, any description boils down to anthropomorphic silliness. And the Hindu pantheon or that trinitarian nonsense that Christianity came up with? Fuggedaboudit!
Which is why I find the notion of Tao somewhat satisfying. The perfect (or as near-perfect as is possible) summation of Nothing.
