Let God, then, decide who is his.

Well jeepers, kosta — He doesn't need my permission to do that.

You wrote: "I can not be 100% certain that God exists or that he doesn't exist. To declare that I do I would lie to myself and to the whole world that I am all-knowing."

Well that's funny; I can say without doubt: God exists. But this is not to make me "all-knowing," just discerning. After all, the evidence is there for those willing to look.

All one needs is to be used just ONCE in someone's life as the instrument through which He chooses to work in a way that CANNOT be denied, to put that question to rest.

Precisely. In the end you believe, I think, that it will be his will no matter what you or I think. So, don't preoccupy yourself much with his business.

I am sorry, that's no different than someone saying "without a doubt Zeus exists."

After all, the evidence is there for those willing to look. Then prove that God exists.

And I will join with you in asserting the same. I could NEVER go back to unbelief - I have seen too much and know too much to ever ditch it. That is the reward we are all promised, that if we seek him with all our hearts he will be found. For the sincere, honest skeptic, the fence sitting eventually gets too uncomfortable and a choice must be made. Being that none of us has any guarantee that we will live the next minute, now is the acceptable time, now is the day of our salvation.
