If one tries to stuff all those traits and quirks into a monotheistic deity, the entities that are being unnecessarily multiplied are the monogod's behaviours -- and then a multiplicity of apologists is required to try to explain those often contradictory behaviours.

I would agree. Kind of reminds me of the old Star Trek episode where the "gods" are gambling using 'quatloos':
