3. You are basing your logic on an out of this realm being. The logic you are useing doesn't apply. You only think this way beucause thats the only way it happens here in our world. With an all-powerful god he needs not a creator because he is all there is. NO laws or logic(as we know it) are needed.

4. In the bible it states that we will be judged by what we know. If we have been giving the choice to follow christ or to not them we will be judged acordingly. That is why many believe that aborted babies and miscarages will go to heaven even if they haven't choosen to follow christ. THis is the mercy of god in action.

I see alot of people saying that the idea of god and religion arose from peoples insecurity. WEll how in the hell do you know that? Were you there?
Of course you would think its common to be afraid of death and rightfully so. So then they MUST have created their religion to give them hope. Yours and many other speculations on how religion popped up really annoys that crap out of me. Because is base on speculation on how the people felt. One person says it and hey it makes sense, so look what we got, something that religious people can't refute! All we need to say is that religion was invented to comfort us! They can't deny it because they weren't there, but you can't confirm it because YOU weren't there

Your own assertions are proving my point. You're exactly right in that I was not there to see the Jews despair in their toil, just as you were not there to see the Vikings or the Hindu come up with their Gods.

What we do know is that; if you leave any primative culture to it's own devices and it will inevitably hoist something up and start praying to it.

How can you make the assertion that the God you believe in is any more valid than any one elses god/s?
