I get nice boners looking at nice chicks but it isn't true love! Sorry... It's your natural instincts making you feel secure. There is only one creator GOD. The different names are due to cultural differences and time. All religious writings I have read thus far all describe the same things for the same reasons. And yes, the conscience and instinct do play a part.
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.

Quiet down Irr, that's the sort of blasphemy that god kills people for. GC obviously has the batphone.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

They all use the same word, and it's equally meaningless every time.

The bat shitphone.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

No it's not the Bible states that everyone would be on their knees confessing Christ.

You may not have noticed, G-C but few people here give a flying fuck what the bible says.

except when the self described "believers" decide to edit out big chunks of it they find inconvenient

Why shouldn't they?
They're all licensed to extrapolate God's word.
That, my friends, is what makes them "special".
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

So, why has no "good and true Christian" ever prayed for an end to war, hunger, disease, or atheism?
Or for an end of child abuse?

Oh, I dunno.
Anyone professing to know more or know better than God Almighty about what is and isn't relevant in Holy Inerrant Scripture seems kinda hinky to me. If they be in charge of determining relevancy I think the temptation to pick only the verses they find convenient would be overwhelming.
Better to subscribe to ALL of the Bible than risk taking a chance with God getting the idea you're horning in on His turf. After all, He is in charge of His religion, not you.

That statement still does not say that it will not happen and you have no proof to the contrary of the Bibles statement.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
