It's inconceivable that a being with the power and knowledge to create a universe could possibly be held accountable for the bullshit in The Bible. Genesis doesn't even accurately describe the sequence of events and it's all downhill from there. I never understand why Christians are so hell bent on proving a creator deity. Even if I grant this type of being, which I don't, there is no way in hell you can get from there to the split personality character in your special book.
It's much more honest to say you believe it because you want to instead of going through the machinations required to attempt to make any sense of any of it. It simply can't be done.
