I'm not saying all feelings are false, but feelings are not enough to declare that a god is real because then why not aliens, unicorns, fairies?

Jesus didn't reveal you the cure for cancer but made you talk about how he's the only way to the father - what a wasted opportunity.
So did you discuss what do you do about the billions of beings who died as fetuses and infants, mental deficients, and people who lived in the New World before missionaries arrived? I mean that is very immoral and brutal saying of Jesus because for them to accept Jesus would be impossible; so they are condemned to hell because of conditions over which they had no control.
I mean do you see it as a good thing that most people that ever lived and live now are just doomed to hell?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
