I'm not super concerned with what christians think. I wonder more how the boundaries of what would be bizarre for a god are constructed in the minds of non believers.
As an example, I often see people ask these questions with respect to some rube goldberg setup. Why would god do this dumb thing X in such a needlessly complicated and ineffectual way? Well, why wouldn't they, is that even odd behavior for a god to hear the stories told? It's not difficult to understand why and that a person committed to some article of their faith would twist their own scrotum into a knot trying to make it all "make sense" specifically in light of those articles of their faith. It's less clear why non believers tend to have or hold on to the same implicit expectations and requirements of the divine.
