I don't understand Christianity

- The bible is 2000 years old and has been rewritten and re-interpreted multiple times but people still take it so literally
- Jesus was around just over 2000 years ago, so did everyone before then who didn't know about this religion go straight to hell?
- What about people who don't accept jesus into their lives because they havn't heard much about Christianity or grew up in a different religion? Do they deserve an eternity in hell?
- If you are Christian, why? And are you open to other truths? Or do you believe the bible is the only truth?
Make it make sense

Do you really believe that religious people don't ask and answer these questions? But seeking answers in an online forum is like asking an astronomer to explain the origins of the universe in two paragraphs.

If you'd like answers to your questions, choose to engage in a mature and thoughtful search.

Anyone who has is now an Atheist.

@BohemianBoo Oh, please. My brother-in-law is an astronomer who's worked for the U.S. government, Harvard, and taught at Cambridge, and he's a Catholic priest. One of the religious writers whom I enjoy reading is Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. He was a Jesuit priest, a geologist, and a paleontologist. He was a key member of the scientific team that discovered Peking Man. I can go on and on. Read [u]Einstein on Piece[/u]. You can download it on your Kindle.

@BohemianBoo We were all atheists before we were touched by God, and he gave us understanding. At least I was not a Christian but God changed me. The more I follow the Bible, Gods word the more he blesses me.

@LeeInTheNorthWoods None of that has anything to do with what I said, but cool.
