"God" is a child in another much more advanced civilization in another reality. He is playing with toys, and he has no idea that they have somehow become aware. It would give us the illusion of free will, but actually this child is pulling all the strings. Sometimes he makes us "naughty", and then punishes us. It's just a game to him, he doesn't realize the suffering he is causing.
Something like the Sims games for us. It's only, he gives the impression of a grumpy old man playing. Swearing and cursing under his breath whenever the Sims start enjoying themselves.
