I shall try not to feel used for rising to the bait.

If God's character as portrayed in the bible is an accurate representation, then the creature (if it were to exist) would be a steaming psychopathic monstrosity who just wants a hug. The gods of the Discworld would be infinitely preferable to a person in the market for something to worship.

Has it ever occurred to you that it might be "the rest of the biblical texts" - mentioned but strangely unreferenced - that are inconsistent with the verses cited in the OP?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
