If you beleive that then you can also pass off the New Testament as such. The Bible is complied by God and is not simply a cobbled together books of old stories and myths.
This new age thinking that God is some spaced out hippy shouting "peace and love Baby", and chilling out on a cloud somewhere, is simply a politically correct version of God that has come about from bending over backwards to please the militant atheists and over God haters.
I have seen God punish and destroy my enemies, God is the same God and will always be the same. If it makes you comfortable to think that God is all peace and love and will not hurt a fly, then that is your choice, you may make friends with athiests who will be pleased to see you reject the real God and be all PC about it, but of course you may not please God himself.
