Why does God not talk to us the way he did in the Old Testament in the Bible?

Have you noticed that God does not talk like this to modern Jews either? Perhaps the answer is that he never really talked to the Israelites. Perhaps those dreams were really just dreams, and no more than that. Perhaps the people of ancient times had the same hallucinations as we do now, but now we recognise a hallucination for what it is. Or perhaps the biblical authors were taking licence when they wrote of events of long ago, and simply assumed that their already ancient heros must have listened to God.

Can you say that God of the Bible is good and Demiurge is the bad God?
This is not an entirely accurate statement of the Gnostic Christian belief about the nature of God. They could not believe that the harsh and unjust God of the Old Testament was the same as the loving and forgiving God of the New Testament, so they believed there must be two gods. The God of the Old Testament became the Demiurge, while the supreme God is the God of the New Testament. Thus, God of the New Testament is good and the Demiurge, the God of the Old Testament, is the bad God.

Jesus was the turning point in the Bible where God basically became less militant. In the old testament, God was violent, destructive, and hateful.
