A all knowing god, that gives people free will, then takes it away by demading to be worshipped in one set way only is a narcissist and a fool.
A all knowing god would know that time, culture and experiance would be vastly different, that people would choose walk very different paths, would live their lives never hearing of other paths. so wouldn't care about which path you choose if any.
And an all loving God would care more about peoples actions and deeds then what type of prayer they whisper.
If a murderer can have his sins washed away on his deathbed and walk throught the pearly gates, but a good person who simply doesn't pray cannot then it is not heaven and it is not somewhere i wish to see.@jrcornerl, No i don't think it's more of a risk to be an athiest in fact I would not want anything to do with the god the bible tells us to adore.

What qualifies a person as "good"? I'm not attacking... I'm asking your opinion. What is good to one person is not good to another... therefore the definition of "good" does not work unless there is an absolute standard...
@jrcornel in the terms of the discussion does it matter what anyone person myself or otherwise deems to be good? we are talking about god, and a god that would forgive a murderer who confesses on his death bed and professes to love god but would turn away someone who spent their lives giving to others, feeding the needy etc simply because they say the wrong prayer or love the wrong person does not deserve to be believed in.
