But then the obvious question is, what if it is the case that part of the nature of a changeable God is to be, well, changeable? Since things are by their nature beyond proof, then the answer is unknowable. But one can at least imagine a god which could be changeable in this way.
Once again the observation would be that I can think of an illogical god which would, as part of its nature, be illogical when it wanted; and that, since gods typically work in 'mysterious ways' that cannot be fully known, then there is no meaningful way to judge their actions from a human perspective, although yes, we can judge those who follow them and their inconsistencies of word and claim.

One extra observation I will like to make - It is not just 3 Abhrahamic religion that claim to have logical, omniscient and all-powerful monotheistic Gods. Even religions such as Baha'I, Sikhism, Vaishnavism and Zorastrianism also claim to have one ruler who is omniscient. good, logical. The attributes of monotheistic Gods are nearly the same.
I wonder if there was influence between the Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic religions. If not that might suggest an underlying inevitable universal principle to arrive at the same description of God (either because He/She/It exists or because of an unlearned common human psychological quality involved in the synthesis of these religions). On the other hand maybe "infinitely powerful supreme being" is an elementary and trivially natural direction for a religion to take.
