I think God makes sense as a character, but only if you see him as a "person" with desires, flaws and some character development. If you treat him like some omnipotent, omniscient, unchanging, immutably good being (as some religious people like to do) you get into lots of contradictions
I'd be curious to hear about some of these contradictions. I've seen giant lists floating around, but after checking into some of them they seem spurious at best. I'm curious to know if you have something concrete?
It's hard to know what you find spurious. Much of religious apologetics involves dismissing every criticism as spurious. Given that multiple authors over long periods of time wrote these religious texts, contradictions do arise, or at least conflicting themes.
I can think of counter examples to the attributes you gave earlier, but if you've read the texts and have not found them yourself, it is unlikely any logical or philosophical analysis would be persuasive.
You don't need any giant lists - earlier someone mentioned the love for widows and children, and yet this didn't seem to apply to random peoples who at a given time were the enemies of Israelites and were ordered to be murdered, including all women and children, no exceptions.
