My guess is that if the almighty, omniscient, omnipresent, all powerful Lord of the universe wanted me to do or believe anything in particular, He/She could tell me without going through a third party. In lieu of a personal message, 'do to others as you would have them do to you' is a fairly good general rule except for masochists.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
There was a comment today that either the Christians are correct or the Muslims are correct. This question creates a false dicotomy because it is unanswerable leading to endless debate set up by the question. Your comment was that maybe neither is correct helps defuse the dicotomy but does not go far enouigh. A better question to ask is, does the Jesus and/or Muhommed speak directly for God and how do the Christian and Muslim faiths reflect that.
