You understand that, instead of most of the gods being quite to me, all of them are. This reminds me of what Dawkins said, "We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further." Could you please explain what you mean by, "... you know offering more than the others?" Do you mean that you will believe in anything that promises a better goody bag?
I could never be an atheist, God called and I answered. I'm genuinely intrigued here
I want you to describe, in detail, the moment God called you. I want to see how vivid your imagination is... and maybe get a few laughs out of it.

Waiting for his answer, get the feeling we'll be waiting a while

Not really, I've discussed logical reasons in other threads that make it obvious to me that God would reveal books, and send Messengers.

Because in the bible their is a set of instructions for those looking to find God. Follow the instructions and you will be able to directly two communicate to God. God will validate Himself if you can follow said instructions.
To indulge in your delusions for a moment, how do you know that the instructions are as legit as they appear? Imagine, for example, that there is a race of inter-dimensional super-beings out in the cosmos that are capable of things beyond our understanding of the world around us. How do you know the bible isn't basically what amounts to a fraternity prank by one of these beings? An English committee wrote the Bible as a prank. They were not a race of inter-dimensional super-beings but they were great writers.

He's supposedly had many messengers, the problem is that believers always think their particular flavor of belief is the result of a self-proclaimed final messenger. How convenient.

Then you should have realized that Christianity has almost identical beliefs to the much older religion of Zoroastarism. It even copied its savior.

And I'm SURE you convinced yourself. You seem easily convinced.
