Here is the post:
1. Trinity.
It doesn't make sense. You worship both Jesus and the father whom are distinct yet one? If you worship both, that makes two gods.
Then trinity is saying, they are all one god. But this would only make sense if they are each other. Son = Father. Then God would be both father of himself and son of himself, which would make him son of the son, and father of the father.
Therefore this concept seemed like an illogical way to try to solve the very fact that Christianity calls to worship more then One being while trying to remain monotheistic.
2. Hell for non-believers.
Really, this paints an evil non-caring image of God. He loves believers enough to give them eternal paradise, the same is not true of non-believers. If the holy spirit called to Christianity, it certainly wasn't very loud. In the name of justice, he will torture people for eternity. Do you feel that cold towards non-believers? If not, they why should God?
3. Lack of proof
Many people desire the light, but are not guided to Christianity. There is good people in all sorts of religions that don't believe in Christianity. If the holy spirit is suppose to be the proof, it certainly doesn't seem that way to me, or most people for that matter. It rather seems only that way, to people whom believe.
4. Being super upset at polytheists.
Polytheists almost all worshipped God as the Highest. I don't see why he is so upset at the concept. Being a Jealous God seems quite illogical.
5. Believers whom are disobedient to God and the promises in bible.
I know it's possible to have faith in Jesus yet sin and be disobedient to God. However, the bible states those whom don't obey God in all his commands, will not enter paradise. And says those whom believe will enter paradise. Therefore you have a contradiction.
It also states that you must not desire the life of this world. Yet faithful people can desire the life of this world. Therefore while bible promises salvation, it also promises them damnation. A clear contradiction.
6. All sorts of contradictions and inspiration
If it was inspired, people could have been surely inspired only to write what they know? Right. In that case, there wouldn't be contradictions.
If such people were writing things they don't know, then it hardly seems inspired and reflective of God's will.
