Abrahamic God is a terrible fictional character. Despite displaying a range of human-like emotions, he's completely unrelatable, because he has every super-power imaginable and is therefore never in any peril, nor is he able to learn anything, or change, on the account of his omniscience. His story arc is essentially that of a spoiled, psychopathic child, bored out of its mind. For eternity.
Christians realized this, which is why they created the Jesus character. However he's only better than God, in terms of relatability, in that he can be tortured...
