After a while, god realized that the barbarians kept misunderstanding his commands, and so he started talking to them and sending prophets to make the communications earlier instead of sending them commands that kept getting misinterpreted.
Why would God, by definition,realize something only "after a while"? Does not God know
all things including all human thoughts?
Of course, if we toss the Bible as a reference to how God is and how He behaves, we are then grasping at philosophical straws.

As far as I'm aware Christians know their god via the Bible and that his character traits and behaviour patterns are rather explicitly layed out for all to see.
I will admit that the God I believe in is a construction within my mind. I also believe, however, that the actual GOD (whom I believe exists and would exist even if I didn't believe) accepts and works around human limitations concerning His reality.
Again, I believe that the GOD who is seeks communion with the minds and hearts of humanity.
