when God speaks I will listen ..when GOD writes his own book I will read it..but when mankind speaks for God..I laugh...
I find it funny how many read a book and can quote scripture backwards and forwards as if their interpretation is the correct one for others..when it's just the correct one for themselves..and of course they will argue or debate with defiance as if they know any more than the next person..when all they know is the word of man..whether spoken or written...

why would a deity need to write their own manuscript?
a deity might hope you believe, but it won't stop the deity from doing as the deity had already planned on doing.
who are you, myself, or anyone to place an ultimatum on a deity?
you don't want to believe, that is for you to choose.
but just because you set a standard if said deity does such and such I will believe, does not mean the deity will bow to you in order for you to believe. the standard has already been set. and from that, you either believe or you don't.
it cracks me up that you actually perceive you are important enough to a deity to make an ultimatum
if anything, one could conclude you hate Jews since that is the deity we are discussing.
so, maybe it's you don't want to accept a deity based upon the race of a certain people.
after all, it was the Hebrew/Jews who wrote the bible [that you want their deity to rewrite]
