Lol, I’m sure you’re a nice person! Not trying to attack or disparage you personally in any way.

Just trying (poorly) to share the things I wish someone had told me 20 years ago. My personal experience has been that there are a set of confusing belief systems in this world that many people are victims of. These beliefs are logically inconsistent, they cause a lot of real personal suffering, and they are intellectually challenging to disentangle oneself from.

My understanding of reality is that God created your soul out of nothing and He loves you so much that He would be willing to suffer and die horribly even if it meant redeeming and reconciling solely your one soul to Him.

You have free will and the freedom to believe anything you want. There are different roads to God and diligence about the truth (which you seem to have) is one of them.

God bless you and thanks for the conversation!
