That's right, the biblical god is ludicrous. He's a bumbling moron, I wouldn't trust him to open a can of beans that was already open.
To me, the only kind of god that in any way gels with reality is the deistic god, it fired everything up and stood back and watched. Or got bored and left. Or died, whatever. But still, it's just a placeholder. Instead of saying "I don't know" you say "This thing did it". It offers no explanatory power, we understand things no better. It's a fairly harmless belief, though.
