God knew before I was even born that the mind he gave me would not allow me to believe he exists, knowing ahead of time that I would break his rules, yet he allowed me to be born anyway?
He even knows just what it would take to convince me that he exists, yet he fails to provide me with it.
And this is what you call a just god?
You don't know yet that you won't believe, unless you're claiming future knowledge. But let me assume that you're talking about a hypothetical.
You deny the truth until you can no longer. He continually provides you with evidence to convince you, and at some point you'll realize that together with your full potential.
Justice would not equal you rewarded with good for fighting against good would it?

As we deduce that God must be just (by constructing a coherent model) then God can be no other. What isn't just cannot be God. Is this what you meant?
