Quote: God WILL NOT change, nor is he under the inclination to do so, because he doesn't behave like humans do
Have you read the OT? If you took the worst traits of the worst dictators in human history and rolled them into one, that's how the god of the old testament acts. Jealous, vain, petty and cruel. Ancient Jewish culture was brutal, so they worshipped a brutal god.
It wasn't until Paul came along and invented christianity that he became the loving feel good god of the new testament.
Why do Jews reject Christ's divinity? Because the gospel narrative does not line up with the Torah. The very nature of who god is was changed in order for Paul to sell his ideas.
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret is as though it had an underlying truth.
