Personal experience

RE: Personal experience II - the sequel
Ok frodo but then 2 questions spring to mind:

1) why has he bothered passing on any knowledge. Accordingly to biblical sources he directly authored at least 10 of the 613 laws and directly inspired the creation story, taught Noah how to build an ark or in the new testament told parables imprating knowledge. We don't know his method but one would assume personal experiences in humans or similar. So why stop there.

2) however you don't seem to be literalist to any great degree. So the more fundamental point is "what is god for?". If he won't tell us anything useful; Clean energy, perpetual motion or something similar. Nothing that eliminates suffering just something to protect his creation and bring more humans to him. He has no value to humans if he won't help us or at least help us anymore.

The above only make sense to me if one assumes atheism is true.
