Depends. Can I bribe it?

Probably at first it's not a matter of "wanting" when we are already part of and constitute within ourselves the laws of existence...so we are constituted already of laws that govern the universe...later on we might meditate on the general laws and principles that make up a small part of our own "universe" and make some deductions...but "wanting" is something that well usually doesn't come about like you would want something beyond what is already there...

Sounds like a plan...just not sure you can call a bribe-able god "just".Surely you can.

Well.. for example you have killed somebody in the past that you don't remember, Now are ready to pay back that deed ?

Just tell me.. What for you want to bribe god ? You will pay for it or not, But surely i'll tell you the price.
No, because I doubt its idea of justice and my own are going to coincide.
It does exist, only I call it "me."

Somebody died in an accident, How will you(god) justify this idea ?

The same as any believer: I'll trade my worship for its favor. Load the dice, so to speak.Just tell me.. What for you want to bribe god ? You will pay for it or not, But surely i'll tell you the price.

With events as they are? No.
When my father was dying (of cancer - a very aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma) we were at the hospital every day for the month that he was there before he died. One night while driving home, something occurred to me: as difficult as it was to watch my Dad suffer, it would have been even worse if I had to try to fit it into some idea that his suffering served some role in a divine, perfect plan.
At that point, I was glad that I don't believe in any gods, because it gave me hope: if it's just us versus an uncaring universe, then we have some hope of making things better, because even if the universe doesn't care to help us, it doesn't care to impede us, either. OTOH, if an entity of infinite power has decided that all things should be precisely as they are, then any attempt to make things better is a wasted effort, doomed to fail.

Yes! the GODess of RF.It does exist, only I call it "me."
Another though about the OP: if there's an omnipotent deity controlling everything, then what I want is irrelevant.

Firstly death is like a chilli truth, secondly if something bad happens with us, It occurs because of the actions that we have done in our past/previous births.

I don't believe anything should have absolute power.
