I don't see any other alternative? I'm not sure what a god that has laws governing it means. I don't think any theist would pose that as an option.

Sure, why not?
If you have a God that can create any universe it wants, and composes this one, retaining the power to change any part of it willy nilly...it paints the subjective nature of God in a very negative light as many atheist here have been detailing.
But if you have an objective God that unfolds the space for a universe and lofts it's own inherent qualities as the forces/fields/conditions within it...then it says nothing about the subjective nature of God, the universe could have worked out no other way, it behaves naturally and orderly because it was produced naturally and orderly. It wasn't created, it was procreated. The operation is more fundamental than special mental planning.
