The ascribed infinite qualities of the Abrahamic God are mutually exclusive. The problems of evil and suffering are also incompatible with such a god.
YHWH of the Torah is NOT just;starting with the garden of Eden, he shows himself to be petty,vindictive, cruel,sadistic and genocidal (read Exodus)
That makes perfect sense,as humans always make their gods in their own image,often with their very worst flaws. The people who became the Jews from about the seventh century bce were originally an illiterate tribe of bronze age goat herders.The god they stole from the Sumerians and the mythology of the Torah reflect the nature of their society.
