Divine proof? Where? Show us? Proof isn't proof if your senses can't behold it.
All that stuff was written by men. Men lie. Proven fact.
I'm in college studying astrophysics, so my mind is geared towards scientific reasoning. These scriptures are the mad rantings of ancient people, and some of it is just allegorical nonsense. It has no basis or function in reality. If you had a basic understanding of the universe, there is no way you could believe these things to be true. I am certainly not going to allow my children to fear some sort of supernatural judgement. What kind of mother would I be if I told them I didn't have proof it was true, but rather had faith that if they were naughty, they will one day be tossed into a lake of fire.
And, no, I am not a Jew. I was raised Catholic, and I came to my senses as a young adult, so I'm an atheist.
I understand.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
