I would consider the Bible a book of metaphors about God (as well as morality and salvation, etc etc), and if God is nothing more than a metaphor, then all of the verses proclaiming the greatness of God, the words of the prophets, and even Christ himself, missed the mark.
Sure, there are other topics, but I'd like to think they thought of God as something a little bit more. Why wouldn't they, anyway? Judging by the times they lived in, God probably served as an explanation to many things as well (as he still does today)
