Was God a Volcano?

If you actually read how Moses (the 'important guy who god spoke face to face with, and they guy who got the 10 commandments off of God) describes 'God' in the bible, it's basically the exact description of a volcano.

Seeing as Moses is held to be a prophet in all three of the big monotheistic religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism), is it possible that the 'God' of all three of these religions was actually nothing more than a volcano?



Is it not more lightly that a bunch of desert nomads come witness a volcano, and seeing as they have never seen one before they think its 'God'. One of their number is crazy enough to go up onto the volcano, where he sees all sorts of volcanic stuff that he mis-interprets as god, and seeing as he's obviously a bit crazy anyways (y'know, how many sane people would go up onto an erupting volcano?) he has a bunch of 'revelations from God' on the mountain. When he gets down, not only does this impress the hell out of the nomads, but he tells them that he spoke to 'God' in the fire and smoke.

Moses (and co.) describing 'God' as a volcano:

And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

And you came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the middle of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
