That entire book hardly reflects efficiency.
It would seem to me if you are all powerful, all knowing and all loving, you'd find a shorter path with the least conflict to get everyone on the same page.
But it seems to me this character loves all the drama.
Really? You had to "allow" kids to die to settle a beef you had with an adult?
You had to murder everyone in a flood besides 1 family, including kids of those who didn't kiss your ass?
And why all the resets?
Garden didn't work, otherwise why change it?
Flood didn't work, otherwise why Jesus?
Jesus didn't work because people still sin.
And what does he go back to doing at the end of this book? He goes back to getting revenge on anyone who didn't kiss his ass, throws them into fire like burning trash?
No, that does not sound like someone you can reason with, but a petty childish narcissist bully.
The bible really does read like an episode of Jerry Springer. God is the ringmaster host, creates needless drama, allows it to go on display on a show he set up, blames his props for show he set up, then burns the stage set down and says "TA DAH!".
