If god really wanted full perfect humans to do exactly as outlined in his writings, then why didn't he just make robots to do what needed doing, and where was (he) before 0BC. It is really odd how different religions exist in specific regions that are outlined by transportation constriants. You might find in the Middle East a variety of religions due to the trade and transportation but India is Hinduism and before America was colonized everyone here was relatively spiritual Native Americans.

Let me clarify, why didn't god make himself very clear and state what he wanted. Don't you find it odd that old gods of the Mayans wanted sacrifices, if that is true then lets kill somebody now. No ok so we need to fix some ideas of god do we, then we have judiaism where you believe in god but you don't get all the answers, nowadays things are a lot more clear god wont answer us at all.

I am clearly using 0AD as an observation of Christianity one of the largest religions ever. In general I mean when god first created man and sent us this message where is that book hidden I want to read the exact copy not some derivatives like the bible, torah or koran, I want the original message from god. So if you are one of those religions what about your ancestors are they going to hell because god didn't send them a book to tell them which religion they should follow? That seems a tad bit unfair or are they going to heaven? That is unfair to us.

Mr Ultimate:
First of all learn about history 0BC would be 0AD because the years counted down until the birth of Christ and then started back up until the coming of the Judgement.
Secondly, God did exist well before the Bible was written, well before man existed and in each persons heart is imprinted the will of God, but we are free to accept this will or not. That is up to us.
Thirdly, everyone in the world, be in Hindi, Islamic, American Indian, etc.. believe in a source of life, a higher spirit source that feeds the soul, so they are not as different as you make them out to be. None limited to boundaries, all coexisting in one earth. One nation, because in the US we have all religions, and likewise in India. One may be more predominate, but never the less not the only one.
Finally, to be so ultimate is only to gain failure, because the first shall be the last the the last shall be the first.
There is no such thing as perfection in humanity, since it lies in the realm of the spiritual, and when we are graced with this perfect world then we too will rejoice with no contraints.

God made earth to give us, his spirit children, a setting in which we could learn and choose for ourselves to follow his ordinances and principles to become perfect as He is perfect. The only way to learn to be perfect is learn the meaning of opposites (good and evil, happy and sad, joy and sadness, etc). These are not things that we could learn in His presence and with him. If you look to the scriptures, you will find that Jesus mentioned that he had other sheep. Those included those living in the North American continent, the Pacific Islands and other areas of the world. God did make himself known before written history or calendars and the difference in religions throughout the world is because as Adam and Eve's children left and after the flood, the knowledge that was carried was based on memory of the one carrying it. As we know, memory is not perfect and can fade over time.

Somehow you have over looked the Old Testament. God has made himself known to Man throughout the Ages. Don't you recognize that the Native Americans have a Creator Spirit? Everyone does, except atheists.

The first huge religion was Judaism and it was before 0 B.C. Several religions just diverted from it (i.e. Christianity and Islam). To me God (or Allah, Shiva, Buddha, however you want to call him) is just universal connection between humans that get them very spiritual at times. Yes I do believe in God but do what you want and when you want to (just remember the consequences). Or grab The Holy Quran, The Holy Torah, or The Holy Bible and learn that he's been around forever!

Why didn't He make robots?
You're not a father, are you?
He could have made robots, but between that and the willing, voluntary love shown by obedience ....wow!
There is no comparison.
Somebody cooperating with you just because they WANT to, love to.
BTW there is no 0B.C.

All through the Old testement, God made Himself known-To Abraham, Isaiah, Ezekiel, & many others.
But it was Jesus, who made it possible to fellowship with God on a personal level.

Before 0 BC (Christ's "birth year") was the old testament.
There are plenty of manifestations of God in the old testament; from burning bushes to parting seas, etc.

it depends on how you want to see God manifest. if its the sun rising in the east then he is present right when the world came into being.
