This is referred to as "salvation by grace alone" and it's a key piece of the evangelical movement. I also think that part is nonsense. In fact, I think it's all nonsense and would add a second thing nobody every talks about: I just don't believe any of it!

I think man created

God in man's image, not the other way around.

Every religion differs based on the men who wrote it. This seems so obvious to me it's hard for me to understand how anyone can believe in organized religion.

This does not mean I don't believe in a higher power, but I prefer to refer to her as Mother Nature. That is what makes sense to me. She is not ego-based, she does not ask to be worshipped, only to be respected. She doesn't punish to prove how powerful she is, but if you trash her you will suffer the natural consequences of those actions. She is justice, not vengeance.
