Oh, and he was very vengeful"

Wrong. It is more like, "but that reasoning is invalid because of so and so
therefore he is vengeful.

Yes, you have finally admitted something. If a god exists such as the one you speak of, you don't really know ANYTHING about him. The ant example by Hrae comes to mind. So why do you think that going to Church every Sunday is approved by him? And for you to be right here, you have to prove a few things.
1. That god exists.
2. That he lies in a different plane.
3. That he doesn't conform to the physical rules as we know them.
4. That he can communicate with us.
5. That he is intelligent.
6. That we can understand/meet with god when we die.
And finally, this is the last and final time I will ask you to respond to the full post. In the future I will consider the points conceded.
