Lofty indifference is the only attribute that strikes me as a likely attitude for a "supreme being". Here's a notion of a god I could at least respect, since worshiping such a being would be beside the point:
“The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.”
-- James Joyce (from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man)
The Abrahamic god, on the other hand, is so vain, petty, and human in its supposed attributes that it's laughable. Then again, that character is nothing more than the reflection of its inventors and latter-day toadies.
