"if it's simply some guy?!"

You are the one irrationally positing an impersonal person. An "it" is not a "guy": and God is not to be equated with "simply spme guy". I certainly don't do that. A "thing" is distinguished from a "person" due to their unique qualities and characteristics. Anyone with an ounce of sense and reason can see that.

"it seems god as person isn't described in there."

You have obviously never bothered to read the bible, or you are simply being dishonest. If you are asking the bible to provide a dictionary definition for you using the precise language that you demand, then you are asking it to do something it was never meant to do. If you want to learn who God is and what He is like then sit down and read it instead of making ignorant statements. God is described as possessing and using all the attributes that constitute a person. The self conscious God of the bible thinks, speaks, plans and then acts accordingly. Those things are not done by impersonal forces.

Human persons are made in the image of God and as such are also personal beings who think plan and act. Personality is a communicable attribute of God. God may certainly be more than just a person, but He is never less that a person.

"and that's why I asked you to define "personal"... without such all your blabbing is incoherent."

Asked and answered months ago. A person is a self conscious individual being who reasons, has the ability to communicate, and is able to act. But you already know that.

<That's why you are not a Christian.>

"As if I care what you think."

What I think is not as important as what God thinks and that's the difference between your impersonal god of your imagination and the God of the bible. He thinks.
