What made your god? Why is your god special? Why is your bible simply incorrect in every assertion it makes about the universe? Your god is an illogical, incoherent mess.
...and in three posts, you've abandoned any pretense to reason or intellect.
Understand this. He is a God of Mercy beyond all else.
Think of the crucifixion. When betrayed by one of his closest friends, and sentenced to death by torture under an occupying military power, after conviction by a Kangaroo court, the first words were,
"Father Forgive Them For they know not what they do."
And he said to someone lawfully condemned to death hanging next to Him, "Today you will be with me in Paradise" -- the original deathbed, fire-insurance conversion,
and God did not turn it down.
He's so merciful he'll forgive even genocide, evidently, so long as you believe in him. If you don't, though, it doesn't matter how much good you did in life, you're being tortured, forever. He's so merciful, he genocided just about every creature on the planet (can't say I know how any plants would have survived, and how exactly did all the diseases get aboard the ark without everyone dying horribly?) instead of forgiving them, and being all-knowing, he should have known from the beginning this would happen.
What's odd, is the atheists always trot out that line "tortured forever" which is the exact opposite of the message.
Just remember -- God is not too proud to turn down last-minute "fire-insuance" conversions. You know, if you're dying, nobody else is gonna care in 20 minutes or a week, 'Look at that doofus, he believed in God".
And if you're wrong about the conversion and there is no God, you haven't lost anything, because you're dead and don't exist anymore.
It's a free trial offer, no risk to you. By your own premises.

Life of Brian has a much better message. A universal one. Hey, they're both fiction, anyway, so may as well follow the better one.
You're acting as though it's arbitrary.
