Did G-d reveal himself to humanity or not? If not, then your belief is (almost) unfounded.

So you are saying that only if God reveals himself are we able to know that He exists? That is in my opinion a very poor reasoning, Avon Lady...we humans have intelligence for something else than for building tools and improving our comfort
The existance of God can be demonstrated through evidence and reasoning at last to a 99%, the only 1% left being that he is invisible to us. We can't force him to make himself visible, but we can conclude through pure reasoning that God exists. There are more complex argumentss, but suffice to say for the purpose of this little discussion, that just the evidence of any effect having a cause is enough to prove that. Where is the cause to the visible effect the universe is?

What did G-d say? Any concrete obligations required of us mortals or are we just in G-d's big sandbox and have been told to play nice with each other?

There are natural laws common to all societies all over the history, ain't they a proof of what is expected from us in terms of behaviour?
Do you know any country, a single one, where killing, hurting or stealing a fellow citizen is not punished?
Pretending to use God as an excuse for imposing a certain vision/rules on earth is the most stupid thing the human mind can conceive. God will judge all of us individually according to all religions, and for what we have made ourselves, not for what we forced others to do. So if we force others to do something, where is their chance to proof their will to obbey God? Nonesense...
