"god" didn't say this.
So you do believe that man SHOULD constrain God with his own ethics, and hence your entire argument is basically shot all to hell.

You can't have it both ways - either God is comprehend-able by man or he is not. If you agree with SU that an 'intervening God' would not allow the suffering in Bosnia to happen, you are constraining Him with your own ethics, and therefore you MUST believe that God is conceivable by man.


And if God is conceivable by man, you must admit that man can come to know Him on a personal level.
