I am in the middle of the road, leaning towards agnosticism. I want to believe in God, but I think I'm afraid to. First of all, I find the whole idea hard to take in. I am a realistic person, and I have millions of questions. I am scared and confused about the idea of Hell. A just God couldn't possibly send that many people to Hell, right? What about Ghandi? What about isolated tribes in say, Africa who have never even heard of Jesus. According to the Bible, those who do not accpet Jesus into their hearts will all go to hell. What about the mentally retarded who can't make the decision?
I can't grasp the idea of life after death. I think I can believe in a God who created us, but the idea of the spirit after death is so beyond me.
I want to believe in God, but really think I just CAN'T. Any suggestions? I just can't do it...it's like me telling you to believe in Santa Claus. I want to, but I think it's too late, and I also don't agree with who goes to Hell.
