I don't believe it would. Perfection can, and insofar as perfection exists in our reality does, exist alongside perceived contradiction as contradiction exists in all things.

Also, that's fallacious logic to think that imperfection doesn't make the thing imperfect.

The god that the isrealites originally worshipped was a rather weak storm god.

Somehow over the centuries, its cult has conflated it into some all powerful entity.

If it were to stay in its original manifestation, I still wouldn't believe it existed, but I would take a more agnostic approach to it - as I do with gods from other myths.
