So I put my cards on the table to see if I can expand my worldview, “bump my corners off”. Refine my understanding.
And yes - some of Christianity confuses me - atheists and I share similar confusion - like sacrifice for sin ???
Truth is subjective. So, for you, it comes down to faith. Faith is belief without evidence, that's what you have.
I'm an atheist and not confused. When it comes to god/religion (s) I require concrete evidence for belief, not abstractions. Nobody can argue a god into existence, at least nobody that I've run into.
If you don't like parts of the god/religion story you can choose not to believe the 'sacrifice for sin' part and still consider the rest truth if you like. Most believers pick and choose, there is no reason why you should be different. I doubt your god and some other believers god/religion are the exactly same.
Time to make some choices.
Thanks for sharing your opinion :-)
