I Am Spiritual But Not Religious

I wrote this after an argument I had with my strictly Christian mother.

"If your religion would send me to Hell for loving all of God's creations, then how is Heaven any better than the overprotective and judgemental society that we live in now?"

Can the world just agree Hell isn't a thing from the bible and move on? It's mostly a Norse pagan belief mixed with a bunch of poetry
@fazer1k If you read an Orthodox bible you'll find a more accurate translation. There are some amazing mistranslations in modern bibles. But even older bibles fucked up. That's why Martin Luther created his own one

@Qwerty14 That's one for the translation experts I think. I imagine many experts must have agreed on the translation of modern bibles for them to be released that way - I'm not religious so I wouldn't know for sure. I've only ever read parts of modern bibles, though, to my knowledge.
@fazer1k There are some pretty good websites now that let you read chapters in different translations so you can get a better idea of what they really meant. But if you really wanna get the best accuracy look for an orthodox translation (either Jewish or Greek). They're the best

Yet another of the many contradictions found in religion.

I believe religion was meant to be an adaptable blueprint originally. However people feared change and that's what has led to the current state of world
