it's a suspicion of mine.
Why am I not surprised?.... -.-'

Yes, because for a person to make up an extraordinary being is FAR FAR less likely than that being existing in reality...
Grow up!

the information did come from physical interaction with God, at least according to the bible. and no, i'm not begging the question. i'm answering yours which is structured to be an inside inquiry.

I have no idea what is this thing you call an "inside inquiry", but still...
You seem to think the bible is a trustworthy collection of tales about one particular extraordinary entity. Trustworthy in the sense that it portrays real events.
Why is it that you posit so much trust in that particular book, and not in another similar one, like the qu'ran, or the Vedas?
What event(s) in your life has lead you to accept that books tales as depictions of real events?
