If we're going to take the Bible as stories that are somewhat partially true, I'd like to imagine that God as described was or is a supernatural nth dimensional being that allows for the manifestation of the human conscience in our moments of greatest suffering, but upholds a disassociative desire for a greater justice or harmony that can appear to many as an almost alien destructive nature and the tendency to punish, while another aspect or being above us, perhaps the same one, is basically a chilled out stoner who enjoys being lazy, exploring mushrooms as food, but doesn't like the idea of farming and sedentary lifestyle.
Please enjoy my verbal diarrhoea haha
Gnosticism is another old collection of beliefs that's quite interesting to read about
