Eh, I have no problem characterizing "god" as a sort of Willy Wonka-esque maniac who might not necessarily"do things" or design systems based on an expected outcome.

The "why not?" or "just because" philosophy feels appropriate for "divine" characters like Loki and Sheogorath. They're playing by their own rules, and they're comfortable doing that because theoretically they are both the unstoppable force and the immovable object.

Could God create a puzzle so difficult that not even he can solve it? Who knows! But I think if I were God I'd want to try and see what happens.
