Because I just can't believe in the bible despite being raised christian. If I'm wrong I'm screwed but I just think it's a bunch of nonsense.
The Old Testament is filled with a lot of messed up crap like raping women, going to war and taking people as slaves in the name of GOD. It sounds more like Satan. Then the New Testament is about love and Jesus, but some argue that God in the Old Testament is Jesus, some try to ignore the Old Testament all together even though they're in the same book. I mean there are parts of the world where people don't read at all are they going to hell for not reading the bible? If that were true most christians are going to hell because I guarantee 95% or more have not read much of the bible they just listen to the preacher give them some verses and they feel good about themselves and don't remember any of it except for the famous verses like John 3:16.
I believe preachers who tell children they are going to hell are evil as fuck. I was told this as a kid and I was scared to death. If I go to hell for being a free thinker while murderers and rapist can ask for forgiveness and go to heaven, the whole system is broken. Ultimately I just believe when you die you are dead. I'm not against the idea of something creating us because how else are we here but I believe all religions are man made and have done way more bad than good.
Then there's preachers like Joel Osteen who made millions off "send money to God" why does God need money? Those peoples donations probably from many poor people gave him a mansion it's a joke. He used charm to get rich off the name of God. (His net worth is $110 million according to Google) If that isn't evil not sure what is.
I know this is not exactly the topic but this is what I felt like saying. So my sin is being a free thinker I guess.
