[Hardy-l] God's Funeral

It seems to me that the line is similar to Schpenhauer's notion that we create God in our own image.  Hardy is argueing that we (the making), having been established, then self fashion our image of God (the maker) by "deeming" him.  The next line further promotes this idea: "And what we have imagined we believe."

        Could someone say me in simple words the meaning of the line "our making soon our maker did we deem"? It's in Hardy's poem God's Funeral. I know the sentence order is changed but I cannot get the complete meaning. 

        Thanks,
        Wellington
