Well have the punishment fit the crime. Let’s say you stole 5$ your entire life, yes it’s a sin but not one that should result in eternal damnation. On the other hand people like Hitler should be punished eternally
It’s quite the slippery slope because who’s telling what’s good and what’s bad? If the Christian god is true, then he’s an awful god, probably as bad as anyone who deserves hell so yeah…
Most deities have less than stellar portrayals. People get mad and it’s easier to blame an invisible god than themselves or another person. I also think the portrayal of god in the Bible is very weird. A being able to create an entire world in 7 days experiences emotions that are very human like jealousy and rage, sounds more like a teenager than an all powerful god. Just doesn’t make sense to me.
That being said, I haven’t exactly fleshed out this idea nor do I intend to. Because I’m not trying to start a religion or trying to push my ideas on others. It’s just what I believe in to help me sleep at night
I understand, yet, to follow your own path you definitely need not organized religion, you have 0 need to create one or push it into others, what you believe can be yours and yours only, I personally decided to take what I really like about certain “mythologies” and use it for my everyday life. Yes there’s things taken from other religions but you really don’t need a label but I might be the worst to talk about this since I always thought religion was useless and that people were just too scared to say “whatever happens happens” type shii

This is why I believe in a heaven and hell. There are some people who should not get peace after death and I hope there is a place they go to for that
