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.'

And maybe it wasn't much of a perversion always - maybe the information and rules were just "symbolic structures pointing to the Something Genuine" - but human brains don't work like that, and soon down the line you get awful things like "no being gay or God will smite you"

There's a lot of different types of Christianity; what sort of theological belief set do you hold to?

yeah there's so many different sects with different views on things like sin, it's hard to know what your perspective is just from the descriptor 'Christian'

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"

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.
