Why do you consider this the most important factor in human life? I have no need of proof of God. Why should I? God is God, whether I understand Him or not, He won't change, besides, I doubt very much that I would be able to understand why He does what He does. I don't need to know that. Why do I need to seek Him? My 'fence sitting', as you put it, is totally defensible. I see no reason to try and prove the existence of God. So there are only 2 ancient religions, this means nothing to me. Why do you believe God demands a choice? It seems a bit presumptious that you would know what God wants or demands. No opinion really is an option.

I bet you are a Libertarian. Being an island is possible only in one's immagination. Starting with the same presupposition you claim ... that there is a God ... I just thought I should find out what God requires of me and what He might have in store for me if indeed he did create me for somthing other than window dressing. Finding it logical that God has been around awhile and figuring He might care about man he probably revealed Himself to ancient men. Perhaps these ancients had figured a few things out and I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. Thus, not being of the polytheistic bent, I settled with Judaism and eventually graduated to it's modern form .... Christianity.

All that to answer your questions. It's all about the first commandment. One cannot have one's own 'god'. The creature must worship the creator. Whatever you are doing it is not religion and is merely the invention of your perhaps very creative .... but deluded mind.

It seems a bit presumptious that you would know what God wants or demands.

He has told us quite clearly what He wants and demands of us, through the Holy Bible. This notion of "God is whatever you think he is" is largely what got our civilization to the deteriorated state it's now in. It's convenient, easy, and lazy, but it's not reality.
