Stupidity does not square with omniscience and omnipotence, though, unless one desperately needs it to. It would explain a hell of a lot, but you will notice how very little of the scripture goes “god, this god dude is such a stupe, but we’re just rolling with it for reasons”
Besides, Hanlon’s razor gets sorta short circuited by Occam’s, which would seem to take a dim view of an entire bible’s worth of waffling to explain suffering, war, famine, kids and good people dying horrifically from cancer, natural disasters etc etc etc
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
