I mean, I've asked for signs, and I've gotten them. I believe in god too. What I don't get, is the whole, confess jesus and be saved, don't and be damned, thing. That is a pretty big point of contention about religion. I know he was a real person. I don't know him well personally. I don't know what he would tell me to make me believe the way you do, but maybe there is something. He doesn't really do much with me. I have other spiritual forces in my life, and to me it makes more sense to work with what I have.
I guess to me, its not enough to exist entirely for the sake of something else. If I myself didn't have any reason for existing, except because god made me to exist for his sake, then I might as well not exist. If hell and eternal suffering is the price of those thoughts, why would I want to spend eternity in heaven with that god?

as i understand it friend, the acceptance of Christ as God the Son is vital to the understanding of the Trinity. to deny the trinity is to deny Christ, its a mental sign that you are willing to accept God.
>I know he was a real person. I don't know him well personally. I don't know what he would tell me to make me believe the way you do
If the Bible was written by Jesus, I would have a hard time believing it. But, Christ had 12 disciples, 11 of which witnessed the Resurrection. to me, thats corroborating evidence. google Doubting Thomas, i feel a special affinity towards him for this reason.
>I guess to me, its not enough to exist entirely for the sake of something else
this trips me up to, however i rationalize it as 'i exist to fight, on a spiritual level, forces of darkness and sin that wish nothing more than to hurt humanity'
youre pretty non-irritating for a skeptic, usually i dont bother elaborating on my lifes story.

1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 

James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.

John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. 
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

You have to accept Jesus as your LORD and repent. He IS the father. God is only one. While he was on earth he was 100% human too, thats why he prayed and talked about the Father in 3rd peron, but he said multiple times that he is God. Thats why the pharisees wanted to stone him so many times. He allowed people to worship him.

you do realize youre making my point, right? The Word, meaning logos, is Christ. Christ (the son), God (the Father), and the Holy spirit are all part of the one (1) God

They are not part of one God, but are God. Like the verse Iasaiah 9:6 which I posted earlier says: he will be called 'everlasting Father', which means that he IS the father.
To be saved you need to accept Jesus as your Lord and God and worship him. Verses which are confusing to some people are because Jesus was 100% human too while living on earth, but God himself came in the flesh to save us. The Father came to earth in his son Jesus Christ. There is no one above Jesus. 

John 20:28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

You shall only worship the Lord your God and that means that he IS God.

YES. I KNOW. WE ARE MAKING THE SAME POINT. HE IS GOD, ONE OF THREE A PART OF THE TRINITY.
