>>33285943Higher power in the first place? I'm not sure what you mean, but if there is a God he's self existent, I doesn't make sense to us, but we are very small things, we don't need to understand. Im not saying have blind faith , but if you want to believe in a higher power you'll have to accept you can't understand some things, like what you brought up about him damning for not accepting him, it may be minor to you, but obviously it's not minor to him, you'll have to accept it, but hes merciful, that's literally what the new testament is about, mercy. So one little doubt wont separate you from him, in fact you could go 50 years doubting cursing him then one day you accept him, that'd be totally fine, it's all up to you, free will yo, we were made to question.
I don't think hell is a fiery pit, maybe it is a place, but i think its simply separation from God completely, just like the other anons were saying , maybe like complete unconsciousness, like before you were born, nothingness.
I dont expect you to believe in a God just after reading what I'm saying, I just want you to keep exploring, and don't not believe something just because you can't understand it.
