The main idea in Monotheism is that God is perfect (hence the insistence on complete Omnipotence that inspired the Wiki's version), which implies that God always existed somehow, for Him being created would imply the existence of a greater power, and him being born from circumstances would put Him and his power into perspective as well.

So however strange the idea may be (a sentient entity sitting on its hands for eternity before suddenly deciding to fingersnap our sucky universe into existence - not to mention a perfect entity creating anything at all in the first place), accepting this notion is essential for the concept to work, hence why every serious believer will completely reject any other interpretation, and why firm disbelievers where plainly disposed of in the past.
