Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

I believe in a Supreme Being Creator God. One of the main problems I have with the Christian God is that I am required to believe in him as a condition of everlasting life.

If the reward is so great, and the alternative so terrible, and God is all-good, and belief in him is a requirement of everlasting life, then why hasn't God presented us with absolute proof of His existence?

Why has he left the world in such a way as it's *reasonable* to withhold judgement on the question of whether He actually exists or not?

The only conclusion I can draw is that either God is not the God of Christianity and that he actually doesn't require belief in Him in order to receive a reward for living a good life, or that God is actually not all-good, or that God simply just does not exist, or that God is not all-powerful. Those are the only valid conclusions I can come up with.
