I came to the conclusion that it makes more sense to perfect this life and realize that it is not an eternal existence, than to have a faith which will always allow me to screw up with the world as much as I want, as long as I can accept Jesus on my deathbed. So, my faith is no longer about the afterlife. I am not denying it, but truth is that I don’t really know anything about it.
I desire to improve myself during this short existence, rather than think that I will be a perfect being in the afterlife. I am not an atheist, but some time ago, I realized that I had much more to learn with people like Carl Gustav Jung, Jean-Paul Sartre and Joseph Campbell, than with some first millennium theologians such as Iraneus, Saint Augustine and Thomas Aquinas. Moreover, I can no longer accept their mute bible, a book that was studied and deciphered a long time ago and has nothing else to say.
