Assuming it is true it goes something like this:
God knows everything that will happen
God made heaven and hell
God made the criteria for acceptance into either
God made the earth
God made people
God made sin
God made a situation that he knew would result in humans sinning (fruit of the tree)
God offered created Jesus to make up for this
God decided that Salvation and avoidance of hell is contingent upon accepting Jesus
God left us with nothing but ancient manuscripts brutally tainted by time and politics in order to decide this
If i don't accept these ancient books as evidence of the death of God in human form as atonement for some sin that i also have no reason to believe exists, God will burn me for eternity.
Conclusion: God is a complete fucking asshole.
