No. There is no similarity between Created and Uncreated. All true theology is apophatic - it states what God is not, rather than what God is.

In my religion, we can describe aspects of Deity. That's the purpose of multiple "gods and goddesses".
The Jews tried to do this as well, with names like "Many Breasted One" to describe God as a provider.
There are many names for many different aspects of Deity which we can call on when in need of that specific quality. Some people had Gods and Goddesses dedicated to certain places... Coventina was one of these, who was associated with a well.
Brighid or Bridget, or many other similar names is a tripple Goddess who is associated with smith-craft, healing and poetry.
As far as "tall, with long gray hair and a flowing beard", that's more personification. That's a way for a human to deal or relate rather than an accurate physical description.
Deity is thought, energy. There is no real physical description as such.

My God is loving and beautiful and the creator of the universe. He is infinite and powerful and so complex that we cannot even begin to describe Him. We humans with our limited minds cannot comprehend the mystery of God.
I will tell you this much, though: God isn't a white haired old man in the clouds. That's just a myth. The creator of the universe cannot be reduced to such simple terms.

Yes - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost - although there are times when I can feel His presence in prayer and worship - the biggest description I can give is peace. Peace in every situation because of the promises in His word - it is not merely my belief - but a peace that allows you to sleep at night and to continue on through difficult circumstances.

I believe in God, the creator otherwise known as ,Jehovah. God is in three parts, God the Father, who is spirit, God the son, who is Jesus and God the Holy Spirit, who draws people to Jesus, and teaches and convicts and comforts..

It? God is God the creator of everything that exist.God is Righteous and Merciful. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You can know him personally by seeking him through his word and in prayer and meditation.

In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth. His light is as if there were a lustrous niche, wherein is a lamp. The lamp is inside a glass-globe. The globe is, as it were, a glittering star. The lamp is lit from the oil of a blessed tree -an olive - neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil well-nigh would shine forth even though fire touched it not. Light upon light! Allah guides to His light whomsoever He pleases. And Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah knows all things full well

G-d is the creator and runner of the world. You cannot see him. Anything you try to describe him as would be wrong because it is impossible to understand him and what he is.

God is our Father in Heaven. He is the Father of our spirits. He is kind and incredibly generous to His children.
