Hi Mike, thanks for sharing your perspective. I left Christianity and the Bible behind, but I hold on tightly to Jesus. Jesus was and is love. According to the Bible, He hung out with who were at that time, considered the dregs of society. I left Christianity because of the belief that only Christians can go to Heaven. The Jesus that I know and love would never condemn billions of people to Hell because they don’t worship Him, any more than He would condemn the LGBTQ+ community.
Blessings to you.
