It's funny (as in peculiar, not humorous) that if you go back and read the posting that started this thread, there isn't a single mention of Christianity. Why has the thread been co-opted this way?
No, I offered an explanation. Did you read this part?
I read it... and concluded that it is a cop out. You do not know, so you point with no explanation to a book. And not just any book. One of the most internally contradictory and self refuting books on the planet.
Most fiction writers make a concerted effort to reconcile their contradictions. The Bible (to include the New Testament) didn't apparently have that luxury.

It was clarified early in the thread that the OP was at least referring to the Abrahamic description of God.
We have some Jewish people here, but numbers-wise, they're in the minority, or they were the last time someone brought it up, anyway.
The debate on God or no God has stricken our generation moreso than any other. Here is my philosophy on the matter:
Say that you are an Atheist...you dont believe in God or you hate God...
When you die, you have a 50% chance of being wrong. No person on this earth would gamble their careers, homes, cars, and other belongings on a 50% chance. Why gamble the future away? Consider this: what if God does exist? what if you are wrong? what if when you die you go to hell? Was it worth being skeptical? If God doesn't exist, then when you die, you will reincarnate or walk the earth as a spirit or whatever you believe. Then you can say you were right. But that 50% chance is still lurking in the back of your mind until you die. Why take that chance? Believe in God, take a chance, and at least if we are all wrong you wont have anything to lose when you die.
But once you have opted for God, if you follow the wrong God or interpretation of God, is it a False God, condemning you
Christianity is full of Graven Images which God prohibits.
Which God?
