And people can make mistakes, I don’t think it’s malicious by nature. Mistranslations happen. But that’s why we should apply logic to the situation. Like, why would an all loving God send “His” people to kill “evil people”. They’re all his children. I think it’s odd how he randomly favors one nation

In the end, I believe the God of our world is a good God. And so I shall live my best life for whoever that God might be. The thought that God would damn someone eternally for being unsure when there are a lot of different beliefs just doesn’t make sense to me.

And if you don’t believe correctly, eternal damnation? You gotta be certain and then you gotta pick the right one? In this world where it’s not obvious at all and there’s a lot of decisions? That isn’t the work of a loving god, that’s a Saw game.

So either
A: God made the world like a Saw game
or
B: The world doesn’t work like that

And if God made the world like a Saw game, then they’re not a God worth serving. That is not a Good God. So, at least for me, what makes sense is option B. I don’t think you’ll be eternally damned for skepticism

Because it’s not obvious which religion is the “right one”. And even within religions like Christianity, there’s a whole lot of denominations since people can’t agree on anything. And most of the time they’re united under loving Jesus but they can also fight a lot.

Most people end up just believing what their parents believe. Nothing wrong with that, but if they got the “wrong” religion then they’re kinda screwed. If it was clear cut, “hey I am thee God and this is what following me looks like” then it wouldn’t be a problem. But it’s complicated and not clear.
