Now because we are all different this love will look different from person to person, culture to culture, soceity to soceity. A person with Charasmatic gifts would not be full filling the Greatest command if he were forced to worship in a atmosphere designed for serious study and debate. Likewise the accidemic would not be able to worship God to the full fillment of our greatest command if he were made to worship God in the home of the Carasmatic. So God gave us the freedom to seperate ourselves to worship Him with All of our being, amongst like minded believers!
So what about the ones that claim that those in other denominations are following a creed that leads to hell? The Pentecostals, for instance, seem pretty sure they've got salvation sewn up and anyone who believes differently is damned.

Maybe God doesn't care if we worship him at all.

If so, does his responsibility stop there? It takes more than being responsible for someone's conception to be a parent.

Yesterday. No answer. Just like always.

That's because, if he exists, he doesn't show himself. If he wants to be invisible, it's not fair to blame people for not seeing him.

I don't have to guess or have revelations to verify real things exist. My dad can call me on my cell and knows just what to say for me to believe it's really him. A feat beyond an omnipotent being who supposedly loves me more than my actual father does.

I'll cop to this one. When I realized God is imaginary, I stopped pretending he is real. I'll be happy to come back if he'll just let me know he's real. No miracle needed, the right words from a particular person would do it.

Been there, done that, doesn't change anything but my own take on things, which any religion at all can accomplish.

Which would be fine except for the eternal hell thing. He hides from those who don't seek him and has them tortured for eternity for not seeking him. It's monstrous.

Is it really a warning if you know we're already perfectly aware of it? Do you think reminding us of your deity's injustice will draw us to him? Justice is when you get what you deserve, in balance with your deeds. Infinite punishment (or infinite reward, in the case of heaven) for finite actions is the essence of injustice. Hell is a problem for Christians. I recommend that you jettison it along with objection to evolution.
