You're thinking New Testament God.

Old Testament God is a big mean motherfucker and he will fuck you up unless you follow his very strict rules. In fact, he won't just fuck you up, he will fuck up your entire tribe collectively because you didn't follow the rules.

Largely because he wasn't the only God kicking around. Jehovah was originally just another local deity, but he beat up the others. You really were supposed to be afraid of the awesome power your god wielded. Ties back to the language of "you shall have no other gods before Me" - they were around, and they were real, but Jehovah was the baddest of them all.

Moses didn't try to convince the Egyptians to worship Jehovah, he tried to make them scared of Jehovah.

I propose a new cinematic universe, and/or game series of wrestling matches between the gods.

I mean, have you played Smite? It's pretty much exactly that, except it isn't wrestling necessarily, but more like a league of legends style gameplay. But funnily enough the Christian and Muslim gods are not actually featured. Or at least they weren't the last time I played, which was several years ago.
