dhw: Sitting back and observing is just what we do in the theatre or cinema. And it is perfectly feasible that he would do so just as we do. What sort of non-human way of observing can you think of if the observer is as conscious as we are?

DAVID: We just don't know. Is His consciousness like ours? Again unknown.

dhw: No, we don’t know, any more than we know whether God exists, or what was the origin of life, or what is God’s purpose and nature if he exists. So once again, please do not use the unknowability as an excuse for rejecting any speculations that differ from your own presumptions. It is perfectly possible that a conscious creator would share attributes with his conscious creations.

You are right. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that some of God's personality attributes are similar to ours in some way. However, we go to the movies or theater to enjoy the performance. We don't just observe, which is what God might do.
