If what they believe is true, one day they may be forced to realize their mistakes.

    So the bible story isn’t about a god at all, just about humans developing conciousness and realizing how terrible things are or something?

    I would say most people do think about and question what is right and wrong though, i don’t see how thinking about morality would lead to “psychic suicide”, contemplating existence on the other hand can easily lead to physical suicide

      Yeah, something like that. God as described in the Bible makes no sense to me. He’s just a placeholder for the the unknowable answer. And if that’s the case there’s nothing that restricts the concept of “God” to the Christian religion. To restrict God to Christianity is to restrict an entity that by definition can’t be known to be restricted.

      Modern Christianity feels very “anti-god” to me in a weird way because they act like they “know God” better than other people.

      Idk. I don’t think I’ll ever come to a final conclusion on the topic, and I wouldn’t want to. But I like exploring my philosophy and expanding it by folding in ideas from my personal experiences. I’m always willing to question everything, but I can also choose when not to question it.
