Fine Rocky because I don't believe in the premise either at this time. I'm opened to being proven wrong though if there was some empirical evidence for the existence of God. I'd have to say that it was a rhetorical question in that I wanted to make a biblical point in light of the discussion around the difficulty with translating languages.
Also, it's obvious that the answer to the question can only come from God himself and what is the probability of that happening other than having to wait until the afterlife. I figure by then, it'll be too late to matter.
It may be that the question might be enough for someone to begin asking other questions about the bible and come to a conclusion similar to your inclination stated above.
