Judeo-Christian religions assert that God is indescribable and not anything you can think of ...

This is certainly not my understanding of the Judeo-Christian concept of God, and I spent 12 years in Christian education (believe me, I am not bragging when I say this).

God was supposed to be something ''mere humans'' could reach by the proper application of logic. Your description sounds much more like the purely transcendent Muslim concept of God, according to which God didn't even have to obey the laws of logic, causality, or his own commands.
