Well
If God isn't personal, if it isn't interested in humans, than I see no reason why one should worship it. I certainly wouldn't personify such a God- neither would I worship it. What's the point? An impersonal God unconcerned with humans wouldn't care if we worshipped it or not. Worship is supposed to be what God desires. If God doesn't desire it, it's just meaningless ritual. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I fail to see the point.

If it is a personal God, than it is responsible.

The universe simply seems to "be", and I don't expect it to be concerned with me, but I don't worship the universe either. It's interesting, but not holy. I personify nothing. I leave it to other people to personify stuff, and then I play with their ideas. But it's just play. I don't really care. It's not important, to me.
