Lots of assumptions here. 1) Jesus existed. 2) God exists. 3) Bible is the word of God. 4) Your interpretation of the bible is correct.
I'm about 95% sure that Jesus of Nazareth never existed. On the one hand, there is zero historical evidence for him, and the few passages that are cited are either proven forgeries or proven to be referring to someone else entirely. On the other hand, where there SHOULD be evidence of him (roman records, anyone?) there is none. Nada.
The Bible is a very disorganized hodgepodge of various pagan and jewish traditions. Hence the constant contradictions and seemingly schizophrenic mentality of the biblical god. I see no reason whatsoever to take anything in that book more seriously than I would a David Icke lecture.

Yes, if you follow your human wisdom by trying to discern who God is and isn't then you too shall be fooled.
To not only understand but to have a personal relationship with God one needs wisdom, not that of man's wisdom but of God's and the only way one acquires Godly wisdom is through the Holy spirit imparting it to us.
Remember, this passage from Isaiah 55:8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord.

Yahweh isn't near as bad as buddha......
Buddha spends most of his time under trees... just thinking of pranks and quick haha's. Personally I think Newton spent his time under trees much better.

There is no external God to do any punking. No external savior neither. If you look any further than your self for absolute truth you have indeed been punked.

Yes of course. Because an omnipotent being has nothing better to do than to breathe life into me and punk me. Good one lord!!
