Why would I want to condemn people to hell? Why would I want to believe that the vast majority of humanity (as "unbelievers") is going to spend eternity in endless torture?
Why would I use 'faith' to claim that I am more moral than everyone else? I obviously have no more morality ("family values") or moral authority than anyone else on the Earth, except it seems, if I were a religious Christian. Why would I publicly condemn and judge those who I believe to be 'morally unfit' like gays, sex workers, women who get abortions or even harmless idiots like those who cuss and swear?
Why would I demand to say "Merry Christmas", pray in public or erect crosses and the 10 Commandments; just so Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs and atheists can feel uncomfortable and excluded in their home countries? Why would I want to complain that I am being persecuted for actively practicing my Christian religion in the public square and in government, whilst showing minority faiths absolute disrespect?
Why would I want to believe that praying, church attendance, tithing, God's Grace or repentance have any substantial benefit in this world; when that time spent in church could be spent actually helping needy people? Or all that money given to churches and pastors/preachers living comfortable, posh lives in first-world countries could instead be given to the poor and the unfortunate?
Why would I ever want to believe that humans have 'original sin'? Why I would I want to have no hope in humanity, or the goodness and kindness of people? Why would I want to believe that all the suffering, misery and hopelessness in the world is required by an (1) an uncaring deity or (2) a merciless entity out to test his creations by causing them pain; instead of believing that there is NO God, and that on account of this, there is actual hope for humanity to better itself and ease it's suffering?
I wonder sometimes ...
