Believing he is one, complete, doesn't play games with humans via wearing a human skin and waving to the crowds from a cross.

God is perfectly just, that's why he must accept good, no matter how small it is. The condition though, is to believe in god himself, the one, the creator. I think christianity was forged right in this spot, to instead of copying what Jesus peace be upon him said literally, they opened a hole in the religion to make people live and sin as much as they can, then just because they believed in the lord they would be saved. Which negates a just god.
My underlining...
Why such emphasis on believing?
Don't you think that a god, if it had ever spoken to mankind, would say something more along the lines of "believe no man, for they all lie" (House: everybody lies), "I am the truth and you shall hear it from me and none other"... "not even a book written by men".
And that, boys and girls, is how both christianity and islam are false - their gods are all too human... all too flawed.... all too reliant on false humans.
Of course, they'll say that those two humans, Jesus and Mo, were perfect and in touch with the divine... of course, how else could you overcome that huge obstacle that "everybody lies"?
Convince everyone that only those two were perfect (ok, just one at a time, one for each religion, each region) and the tale told about them is absolutely true.... and people follow that "perfection".
