Buy yeah, when I am dead, then (and, apparently, only then) God will reveal himself to me in all of his glory. This "relationship", if it exists, is a passive aggressive relationship, and I feel that I am being abused.
Yeah. Not to mention transactional. God's largesse depends on you obeying a list of rules, starting with it being mandatory to love god.
Abrahamic law, known as just "The Law" or Mitzvot, consists of 613 commandments. Strangely, Judaism does is very vague when it comes to notions of heaven or hell.
Although that may seem odd to us, the notion of an afterlife was by no means universal in ancient religions. One tried to placate or cajole one's god(s). Either to get something, ranging from rain to that desirable some one or to simply prevent said god smiting you.
Moses' YHWH of the Torah was a monster. If I believed in him, I probably be doing all I could so that he would just ignore me.
