"then they go onto describing all these 'attributes' the figured this 'God' is that they claim they don't believe in, but don't like!"

Well, having been brought up in the Church of England, Methodist and finally a rather enjoyable free church traditions I do know something of the thoughts of god. I've read the New Testament (all his word apparently), been preached at and taught all the lessons, sung hymns and been an unquestioning part of that community. I can't escape the church now I'm older; it's in the news on a daily basis and it still influences law making in this country (26-odd bishops in the Lords, all of them men). I'm not prejudiced against the church, I simply don't believe their dogmatic, unquestioning and morally dubious take on the how life should be lived. I also don't like the idea of having to accept anything on blind faith . . . to my mind it seems to show a certain deficit of character were you to just submit to teachings without questioning things like the provenance, the motivations of the author and the context the teachings were written down in; the motivations of the teacher themselves.

So the 'attributes' of god are open to question, even if it gives the fundies the howling fantods, and I will question them. After all, why wouldn't I?

"On the other hand, you might come to a place where there is some sort of consciousness or intelligence playing something out..and we are just the manifestation"

You might, if there's evidence but for the time being this is pure speculation, not scientific enquiry and it doesn't display that much open-mindedness either, given the context the comment was made in.
