That's a good question. The Bible says that God's "invisible attributes
are clearly seen,

being understood by the things that are made" (Romans
1:20). I would look for a God for Whom that statement is true. A God
Who's attributes are consistent with the creation of the universe we see.
It is logical to assume that if God created the universe, that it would
be consistent with His nature. If somebody is advertising a god that is
not consistent with that, then it isn't the real deal.

You have made the mistake of starting from a Christian point of view
and selecting a Christian God that meets your Christian beliefs.

How should the questioner choose a God from the pantheon of Gods
available WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CHRISTIAN DOGMA?
