It's possible for any person-- including God, I suppose-- to be misjudged by others. So I guess my answer to the thread's title is "yes."

But I disagree with the OP. No person, not even God, is somehow above criticism just by being God. "Cancer" is a more powerful force in the world than I am, but I still hate it and I don't want it anywhere near me or my loved ones. 

If God is some tribalistic blowhard (as many religious people take him to be) then he can fuck off too.
