That is a opinion you are passing on as fact.  You state it assuming God does not exist.  It is an unfair and bias statement, if you are looking for a real discussion you should avoid remarks like that.

As for your hypothetical situation, If God is real as i do beleive, he still speaks today.  All it takes is someone willing to listen and the faith would be reborn.  I come to this belief that he still speaks today through personal experience and not being told by someone that he does.  I do beleive some practices are silly, and are likely due to human error in trying to read into what the almighty wants.

Your arguments states that God is picking winners and losers based on where we are born, that is something that is a troubling question.  My answer is that he isn't picking the winners and losers, we are.  As humans with free will, we decide what we beleive and what our children will be raised to beleive. 


Wrong. I didn't assume that He doesn't exist, and it's not an opinion, it's a conclusion based on what is written in the OP. It wouldn't make sense for God to be extra close to you just because you were born in a religious society.

Edit: As for the italics. Most of the silly practices today are actually the result of literal reading from the Bible/Gods words. By avoiding some of God's words, several "silly" practices are not practiced anymore.
