Generally if someone uses the capital-G God of the theologians and philosophers, it is an impassible thingy with no material existence. Best not to confuse them. I don't know for sure which kind the OP wants to talk about.

Nope, I'm pretty sure he included the abrahamic gods, the hindu gods, the Hale Bopp gods, ............

You're having filter issues again.

I don't know what Gae intended. 

If we're talking about the classical theologians, they objected to the capriciousness of the polytheistic gods, largely to contrast it with the impassible God they believed in. This is comparable to the Hindu Brahman, but not, for example, Shiva.
