I don't believe in the supernatural in any form.

If there is a God I am prepared to be judged upon my deeds, I would doubt any kind of God would make me suffer for not choosing teams. If there is a God he will make all knowledge available to me.

Most religions believe if you choose the wrong "team" your in for a pretty crappy afterlife.

Actually, you'd be surprised how many give you second chances or even more. Christianity, of course, doesn't. But as long as you do better in the next life or have some distant relative pray for you after you die, you're in good shape in most religions. Some even don't have any hell or suffering at all.

If there is a God I am prepared to be judged upon my deeds...Deeds to whom....God, or man.

You incorrectly assume here, that faith, is itself, not a deed.

When it was asked of Christ, which is the most important commandment, he said to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and all thy mind, and all thy soul...for this is the first and greatest commandment.

You're free to believe what you want, but don't assume to know the mind of God, for it is written that your ways, are not my ways; and your thoughts, are not my thoughts.

There is no "IF" and He has given us all we need to know. Like anything else, if you want something, you have to take the first step and seek it out.

"If there is a God I am prepared to be judged upon my deeds"

That's why you don't stand a chance.

"If there is a God he will make all knowledge available to me."

He did, the Bible, and you chose to ignore it. You must be an apprentice word warrior.
