Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics and qualities to non-human beings, objects, natural, or supernatural phenomena.

No, but a lot of readers of the Bible do.
When you read the Bible, you have to overcome the impulse to see God as you see man.
You cannot judge God's nature by man's nature.
Anthropomorphism is applying to God the nature of man.
Example: Saying this is the way I would have reacted, so this must be the way God will react.

Perhaps God practiced theomorphism in the creation of human beings, who in their personal existence can participate in his freedom and love.
