Christians like to say that you don;t have to "convert" to judaism to be a christian - but it's a hollow distinction. You have to believe in the same god, who did the same horrid shit, from the same horrid texts. The only functional difference between the two is that the christians just couldn't stand the thought of following all those inconvenient rules.
So I suppose, since we're imagining gods in this thread...we could imagine one that says "fuck the rules" just as easily as any other.
Do you know what it takes to be converted to OT Judaism? Simple belief in the same God is not enough. The entry into these two different religions are worlds apart.

There is no God to know.

No, I am not a liar, you said you saw Jesus, who is God, and this is part of your belief. I said that people of different religions see what they believe when they supposedly die and come back e.g. Christians see God and heaven, Muslims see Allah and paradise. You saw God, this is part of your belief, therefore I am not a liar.
Again I did not see Heaven. I saw my judgements, I saw the potential love God had for me, then I saw it all taken away and then I got to see the gates of Hell. Where is heaven in all of this? Where is the paradise?
