If you're going to base your assumption on Yahweh, then you have to assume that the worship of Yahweh came first, not the other religions. God being creator directed with great care through history, Christianity. It is His ultimate will.
People did not pick Chuck Norris, He has chosen them throughout history, that would be sorta like you picking your parents, you couldn't and by the way they did not pick you, they got what Chuck gave them.

Oh I differ on this, Chuck Norris would be nothing more than an unknown actor without those who chose to watch his movies and shows. Chuck may be good at kicking peoples butts but, he falls short on knowing everyone who has lived and is living or ever will live. Chuck being created by God is a finite being who's life lies in the hands of the God he was chosen him. By the way I've heard but can not confirm that Chuck chose to accept God's call for his life.

The biggest word in that last sentence is "If."
Even if you get that far you are down to Judaism, Christianity or Islam in chronological order.
Of course if you then choose Christianity then there is the particular flavour. How many distinct churches are there again? Thousands, aren't there?
Yeah - good luck with that.
I qualified 'IF' at the beginning of the statement, so all that follows must follow the assumption. You on the other hand have thrown 'ifs' in at random, why, only to try and confuse an otherwise obvious orderly thought. The 'IF' qualifies the statement because he did not have to make such an assumption. However he did and thus the statement must follow the logical path.

Nope.
No evidence for your god. It's on an equitable status regarding it's existence to the tooth fairy.
We were going on an assumption, can't you see what's before your face, you like evidence, it's there in black and white.

That was going to be my next response. It's actually quite a long line to get where most people are. Not to mention that, though it's claimed that Jesus served Yahweh, he definitely said things that go contrary to what Yahweh said in the old testament.
Yahweh is the Trinity, thus Christ is part of Yahweh. Read my reply to 'maxy' it applies to you also.

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.
