Very true. It reminds me of the concept of Ishta Deva in Hinduism, where the devotee worships the image of Divinity that they please. So that has lead to a member of Hindu cults (in the original sense of the term) or "denominations" where each sect sees its deity or image of God as the Supreme Being. To Vaishnavas, it's Vishnu. To Saivites, it's Shiva. To Shaktas, it's Shakti or the Divine Mother. (There are and were other major sects, like the Sauras, who worship the Sun as the Supreme Being, who are very ancient and were one of the main religious forces of society, but they're a small minority now). (They each have their own understandings, scriptures and practices so it's foolish to treat Hinduism as some organized religion. It's a bunch of different religions under an umbrella term like "Neopaganism". )Again, I tend to agree with you. Whatever God there is is unknowable, so I am sick to death of the Abrahamic relogious believers slapping attributes onto God as if God was a person. Imo, the reason those believers do that is because they want to believe that God has those attributes and of course their scriptures support their belief.
Everyone worships their own ideals, in a sense. That doesn't mean that deities are a human construction. If all reality is sacred, so are each of its facets. Nature can be cruel to us as we experience it, but that cruelty is just one aspect of it. You need to consider the whole in order to have a more accurate perspective.
Some people aren't prepared to do so. For example, a common explanation for why some people are drawn towards the worship of Kali as the Supreme Being and others are repulsed by Her, it's said that we all respond to Her imagery based on the level of spiritual maturity and wisdom we have. If we can see past the grusome exterior of Her iconography and see the beauty beyond it, we're appropriate devotees for Her. If not, and it digusts or frightens us, we're better off pursuing a more calm or peaceful image of deity.
Basically, it comes down to what matches your experience and understanding of the Divine, not what someone else has told you to believe about it.
