The God of the Greeks was watching us all play, much as if her were attending a theater, but as the defacto director he has the power to play with the actors, restaging them to do either good or evil, depending on his whim. While the God of religion is here to guide, protect and punish us for our own actions within the confines of free will, a gift he has given us to allow us to choose the right. The similarities between the two conceptions of God sort of end with the fact that both assume that he exists, and beyond that they vary extremely in the Greek tradition God has the ability to do harm to humans, for his own and analogous purposes, not at all like a parent, while in the Judeo Christian conception of God he is a loving parent whose goal even in punishment is to make humans better. The Judeo-Christian God through good and bad is determined to make of his creation a valuable person, or let him fall to evil through bad choices, while the God of the Greeks seeks to constantly challenge and override free will for the sake of making the world and people not better but more entertaining to watch. People then become the pawns of a higher power who has no real vested interest in their salvation or correct deeds but instead derives pleasure...

While the God of the Greeks intentionally drives conflict into the world, as a way of creating dramatic tragedy and conflict and occasionally letting it all work out for the better in resolution. The Judeo-Christian God is then pictured as a helpmate and a parental protector, while the Greek God is pictured as one who will be constantly teaching a lesson to man, and occasionally doing so with little or any regard to man's ultimate goal of being good and living a good life. The Greek inception therefore drives people to do evil, even against their own better judgment and will, while the Judeo Christian God offers people a choice and then helps then to choose the right along the route. It would therefore be logical to assume that the better choice, i.e. that of the Judeo-Christian God, and especially the Christian God as a loving and forgiving God who would find sorrow in the bad actions of man and joy in his good actions, rather than entertainment in either.
