I think there is a higher power I don't believe in hell , but I do believe In heaven because I'd like to think after I die I'll get to just feel happiness and nothing else, just pure joy. For many years religion has been manipulated to sometimes gain money or control the society but I don't care about that , all I care is that God is watching over me and he is not vengeful in my head, I could make a thousand mistakes In my life I know he will walk me through each of those obstacles .i can hate him I can despise his decisions but at the end of the day I have no choice but to trust his ways. It's hard trusting his decision , especially right now since my brother died recently , but I'd like to think he had perfect timing and an all powerful vision of the future that I don't have . But I understand what you're saying trust me I've had pastors tell me I was going to hell because I questioned things in the bible. Psh. I know God doesn't give a shit, he isn't looking down on me saying " what the ! She isn't believing in me ?!? Screw her ! Send her to hell!" Nah if anything he it's part of his story for me, to question things, to doubt . Doubting isn't a bad thing,it allows for me to explore more things in life and it allows me to look more into the bible to question things.
