The more I study the history of Christianity and the surrounding movements, the more I realize that most of it is just made up or fabricated to explain our existence and account for what may be a field of consciousness that faintly connects us all.

It makes no sense for a just god to let some people be born into families with the right god while everyone else gets indoctrinated into the wrong ones, their fate decided by an accident of geography they never chose. If salvation hangs on belief, and belief is mostly handed to you by the place and family you happened to land in, then the whole arrangement rewards luck and punishes circumstance.

Even if there is a god, it makes far more sense that reaching them is an individual journey, something each person works toward on their own rather than inherits at birth.

Above all, the creator of the universe would have a more intelligent solution for communication than dropping a holy book into one specific patch of geography at one specific moment in history, in one language, and leaving everyone outside that time and place to guess.
