Because the Jews would hit him up for royalties or sue his holy ass for copyright infringement.
That strategy has difficulties:
Quote:The simplistic style is partly explained by the fact that its editors, having to meet a publishing deadline, copied the information off the back of a packet of breakfast cereal, hastily embroidering it with a few foot notes in order to avoid prosecution under the incomprehensibly torturous Galactic Copyright Laws. It’s interesting to note that a later and wilier editor sent the book backwards in time, through a temporal warp, and then successfully sued the breakfast cereal company for infringement of the same laws.Substitute: "The Jews" for "breakfast cereal company"

What's your argument exactly? If you mean to say the argument that he would send books implies he should send DVDs or MP3s, I would say that is non-sequitur. He sends his revelations through a trusted Messenger and tests his creation by making his exalted ones the means and road towards himself.
The argument is that the Abrahamic god is indistinguishable from a fairy tale produced by a primitive, tribal people.
It would be evidence of His existence and omnipotence were He to offer something a little more current.
The fact that no such evidence is ever produced suggests that the null hypothesis of non-existence is accurate.
Are there any current exalted ones? Who are they?
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
