I may disagree with religion strongly, but I'm into "spirituality", and it feels like religion came out of something genuine, like they were onto something super meaningful and then it got perverted into a 'set of information and rules about how the world operates.'
Ok so sinning kind of is about being smote for being bad. Romans 6:23 (wages of sin is death), 5:12 (...so death spread to all men because all sinned), Ezekiel 18:20 (the soul who sins shall die), + Proverbs 10:16, James 1:15, and other stories about "you sin, bad you"

Like, Romans 3:10-12 says literally all people are sin-ridden, 1 Cor. 2:14 is like 'dude people are so sinful they can't even begin to understand God' and Eph 2:1 is all 'yall suck you sinridden heathens'

It seems less like sin is 'choosing to live away from God' and more an 'inherent state of mankind that is punishable by death (or hell or whatever)', which seems a lot closer to the 'getting smote' end of the spectrum imo.

Matthew 25:41 and 2 Peter 2:4 seem to imply that God does send people to hell. And the Bible is a little unclear about whether or not it's our choice to repent or not. Romans 8:29-30, Eph 1:15, and Eph 1:11 all seem to imply we don't have much of a choice.
