I do try to be funny once in a while. I pick on this deity a lot, but I'm more or less certain that stories like Eden, and the Tower of Babel, and Noah's Ark weren't really literal. I mean some people do take them as literal history, but there are just too many holes in them. Even more nowadays that we know more about things than people did thousands of years ago.
I'd pick on Zeus and the other Olympians too if anyone wanted to talk about it. Apparently Hades, the god of the dead, was one of the better ones, aside from that Persephone tale. Even then there's debate over the exact details of it. The only real difference between Yahweh and other gods is that nobody claims the Olympians and such were perfect. I would actually cut Yahweh more slack if in the new testament he made some apologies, said he was trying to mend his ways, and genuinely wanted to help people and make them happy.
