I believe in God for a number of reasons, but lately I've been doubting Christianity in its entirety because alot of things just don't make sense.
For one why would an all powerful, omnipotent, and loving God create finite creatures like us, stick us on a single planet away from Him, Heaven, Angels etc, give us five senses and a conscience and reasoning, and tell us to believe in Him based off of something others wrote thousands of years ago? If He were really like a parent wouldn't He stay close, visable, or even give us some kind of scientific or verifiable ability to KNOW He exists. Its really nit fair to kill the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] among us for not believing in the Theory of Relativity, but that is in essence what God is asking. Or having an infant conceptualize our judicial system, its impossible.
Another thing that kills me is how we are going ti be punished for eternity for the mistakes made in this life apart from God. A child may willfully disobey his parents because he doesn't want to do something and be punished for it but I've never heard a child ask if his parents were real. Isn't it more an act of Mercy or compassion to show every human being on earth what their purpose is, Who He is, and then punish us on the willfull mistakes we make vs us being born blind and having to figure something as astronomical as God out on our own? I just don't get it.
