Being all powerful would have to make existence boring.

So true.
On that note. I once met another agnostic deist who had a theory that God was actually the result of the creation of the Universe, rather than it's creator. He theorized that God came into realization of his own existence in the same way Artificial Intelligence would - by realizing it's own self. Then of course, finding himself extremely powerful, and bored, he began creating worlds and humans and who knows, civilizations all over the universe.

What I found most interesting about this theory is that it explained a lot of the imperfections that we see in nature, it made evolution far more compatible with a deity, and of course, allows the believers to credit God with the occasional amazing spectacle of nature. Obviously, this theory is as improvable as any other, but I found it interesting. He elaborated more, but at this point I will digress - as I am not sure that anyone even cares.
