To explain knowledge of God

[pocaracas]

But it can lead to the wrong god.

So?
Again that what this life is about. We have been given this span to show us where our hearts lie. If we are content on serving an empty God then we do not have the burning desire required to serve the God of the Bible. If one wants to worship the God of the bible then He will keep Knocking till He finds Him.
Being side tracked into the wrong religion for a while is not the unforgivable sin. Finding contentment there and Ignoring the urgings of the Holy Spirit to push past your contentment is.

What if you're convinced you're worshiping the god of the bible, but you're worshiping something not quite like it?
One of the several thousand denominations...

And if it can, it will and it does. How many different conceptions of god do you find in the world, today? not to mention all the ones that came before and are no more...

Indeed, how many fine hair like wires are their in a sive or screen? The purpose of all those false religions is to seperate out those who want to worship the God of the bible from those who do not.

Also.... if it can lead to any god, then it does make you wonder if the method exploits some mechanism in your mind and no god is required for it to look like it works.

Yes it does. For as you 'good people' prove there is a growing number who do not want to worship a God at all. So you A/S/K for a world view that places man/man's morality in place of God.

Again not everyone is intended to goto Heaven. This life is to sift out those who do from those who do not want to serve God for all eternity.

It's not that we don't want to worship any god... it's that we don't accept the premise that such an entity exists to begin with.
So we look at the world around us and follow where it leads.

Question(s): how did people come to know the god of the bible, before there was a bible?
Were they not intended to go to heaven?
Was there no sifting?

Why should people desire to "serve God for all eternity"?

Lastly, if the ASK method can yield results even if no god is actually there, why should it be used? It seems like it's flawed at its core.
