What would be the point of life if everyone is only working towards the goal of something better after the fact?
Truly, why should the shaky promise of a better place after I die make me motivated to listen to preachers? Why should I take the leaflets with writings I don't understand, and I will never understand, from gaslit people to make them feel better? Why should I feel obliged to follow other people's rules? Ones that my brain and my heart are screaming to me are wrong? Ones that make me feel dirty and immoral?
If a grown man loves another grown man, consensually and maturely, why should I fear them? Shame them? Hate them? Harm them?
If a grown woman loves another grown woman, consensually and maturely, why should I fear them? Shame them? Hate them? Harm them?
Why should I hurt and hate and deprive people from other countries or of other races of normal human necessities?
Why should we take away the equity they deserve? That their communities NEED?
Why should we deprive a woman of sexual and/or reproductive help and health? Or even just their health at all in certain cases?
Why should we tear away their chances of independence and their own personal identities, when they've not even had them for a century?
Mary was a young girl who had likely been raped, and became pregnant.
Jesus was not white, and he was not the son of god, but he did spread his religion, and that in itself, is perfectly fine. He was oppressed and killed. So why should his followers decide to do that to other religions centuries later?
If god is real and almighty and created everything and loves all equally, why would he not stop what is happening? Even if he was real, it's clear he's given up years ago. Why, logically, would he stay to watch us and our endless cycle of cruelty? Why would he not try again with another batch of humans, on another earth?

for real. what im really intrested in is the fact we dont really have free will. our brains are based on our parents' genes, our childhood experiences, our environment, from birth everything that happens creates our neuron connections that are responsible for the next decisions in life. so is it really a choice that we don't believe in god and open up to him? after all, that's how our brain works, our brain has developed to not believe. so what do you mean "you have free will, thanks to your decisions you can go to hell or heaven"??? shit i should start my own blog, i have too much to say
i know im replying late but youre so right!!!

You're asking great questions to which I think you already know the answers.
Keep digging.
How did we get to this point?
How did the following of a great social revolutionary who died in service to the poor and needy evolve into the rise of christofacism?
You'll find no shortage of manufactured answers by being spoon-fed scriptures, but you have demonstrated both your own intellect and ability to determine what is right via questioning what many fear to question.

Today, I wrote a blog about this, and maybe it could help you remember whatβs truly important in life. Religion often uses our fear of death to thrive (using the example of Catholicism), but try not to be overwhelmed by what "God" or others say we "should" do, because in reality, no one truly knows. We constantly create systems and beliefs to try to control other peopleβs lives, like politics and governments. These are man-made, and that means they are inevitably flawed.
