But instead, we get Jews in the desert proclaiming this merciful god who sends people to hell for all eternity for daring to not believe in this Jewish god.
Then it was up to Paul to invent a religion based on Judaism using JC for the spokesperson, the talking head who tells his disciples to spread the word.
So we now have a religion by comittee, the higher ups living the fine life, getting the best perks, best transport, best women, most money, and so forth while the rest of the world's population gets to fight the never ending relgious wars.

Seriously, it is like your gods need our help. We are supposed to activate, take sides, continue the fight. The gods you worship aren't happy unless we kill each other.
