What's the value in doubting the message?
According to Kloro, the message is primarily "I exist, believe this one guy I randomly chose when he says that I exist".
I want to believe true things and disbelieve false things.
If this thing is true, then I want it to be believable. As it stands, it is so self-serving that I can't believe some people accept it.
So it doesn't care about people going to war over different views of the god.
Gotcha!
To me, that's not a benevolent god.
