There actually has been some fairly hard thinking on these matters, over a fair amount of time. Here's an example (from the late Oxford theologian Herbert McCabe):

You must deny the other gods and you must not treat Yahweh as a god, as a power you could use against your enemies or to help you succeed in life. Yahweh is not a god, there are no gods, they are all delusion and slavery. You are not to try to comprehend God within the conventions and symbols of your time and place; you are to have no image of God because the only image of God is man."
