Living without god


Disclaimer: I am not a theologian.

I’ve never been much of a follower nor had a strong need to join a church and the evangelical Christian born again movement has completely repulsed me from any such inclination. This is due to a major contradiction in what is commonly understood about the Christian God and Jesus Christ. Contrast an omnipotent, all knowing and infinity compassionate God to a God who restricts entry to heaven to those who accept Jesus Christ as their savior, regardless of personal behavior. The former predates, negates and likely supersedes the latter which, to my mind, would argue live a moral life and trust the afterlife to the compassion of God.  Therefore, faith in God does not preclude an afterlife.
