That's all well and good, but what does it have to do with the OP's question?

Eternal life In heaven for those who follow and believe and the eternal pits of Hell who do not follow and believe. I am hoping and praying i get in the gates of eternal life as promised for following rather than not believing and going to hell.

I'd assume misinformation means all of the different ideas so many people within one specific have. for me it comes more from people within any given religion rather than someone outside of the religion speaking about it.

Agree also who's to say who has the correct intrepertation of the bible. As we know the puropse of our judicial system is to intrepert the law. However if a higher court can always review and override a lower courts decision if neccessary. Not saying that the lower court is wrong but the higher court has a different opinion and a different set of eyes. Why can't the bible be reviewed in such a matter?Drug and smoke free trading.

That is the reason we have freedom of choice. Nobody in America forces anyone else to adhere to their religion or their interpretation of a religion. Christianity has everything from Baptists to Pentecostals to Catholics, each with it's own spin on the Bible.
But none of this is relevant to the original question.

The original question is what are God's responsibilities. I guess that we can never come to an agreement on what they are if none of us can actually agree on what God is.

Perhaps the problem is you are trying to apply the term "God" to the deity of all religions.
A particular religion's god is responsible for fulfilling his/her promises to his/her followers. That depends on the religion.
If you are trying to idnetify which god is the one true god then I wish you luck...and doubt you will find the answer on SCF.

The question in general shows a lack of understanding of the "god/God" concept as a whole. Many people are quick to apply human concepts to God...why would God have to abide by human rules/beliefs/ethics/etc? At a basic level, God has no responsibilities to humans. What if we're just a big experiment? When scientists are observing an animal species, do the scientists have responsibilities to those animals?
The only responsibility God has is what he has promised to do. Humans can assign Him all the responsibilities they want, but all they're doing is applying their own unfounded expectations to a being they have no right to do so.

They all tell man what he is required to do for God and what the punishment is for disobeying God's laws.
No that would be a human interpretation of what is going on.
Think about it, why would God need to set rules or have punishments? God created all, knows all that WILL happen, and all that has ever happened, God doesn't need you to do anything for God, but like a good parent, God is hoping you will have the best available to you, and will point out how to get it. but like a teenager, most of us already think we know it all and will not listen.
God's responsibilities? God has none, we just wish God did.
