That is one understanding of the Christian God, and a very Fundamentalist one at that. As I said above, the majority of the most populous Christian demoninations do not interpret the Old Testament in particular as a text to be taken literally.
I'm far, far, far from an active Christian, but I'm seeing a lumping together of God=Religion=Creationism at times in this thread and think it's important to distinguish between them all if you really want to understand the issue. Otherwise, you're committing the same mistakes as the Fundamentalists behind the Creationist movement, which is to use extremism to represent the entire population being examined.
