I am still trying to figure out Gods game here.
First he creates us ignorant of him
Then there is a proclaimation that tell us to find the true God
Then God allows the flooding of false propaganda that suggests this is god, that is god--even different methods of how to praise and worship God
And at the end, God comes back and seperate those that guess correctly from those that guessed incorrectly and bring those that correctly back home with him and make the others suffer.
All I can say is--what gives "GOD"?
the simple solution to your problem is john 3:16,21
Hey froggy, got an early Christmas present for you

Let see,
"John 3:16-21 (King James Version)
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
King James Version (KJV)
But this does not explain why there is Buddhism, Hinduism, Confusism, Taoism, Juddaism, Taoism, Shamanism, Hellenicism, Zoastrianism, Jainism, nativism plus all the other religions and cults that exist today.
All I am saying is simply this--why can't god give us poor souls a break. Maybe it is because there is no god, and it is a bunch of BS that a couple people made up over time.
Of course that is just one idea-there could be other reasons!!
