Hello everyone, this is my first post so I will introduce myself. I was raised Baptist but around the age of 13 I began to have a resentment towards Christianity, feeling as if I had been brainwashed as a child. As I got older I have become more open minded and realized that I was being ignorant in my resentment for the religion. I no longer say or do things to try to offend Christians as I did in the past. I have friends of many different christian religions now, Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, still many childhood friends from the church I went to as a child who are still believers, I also have friends that are atheists. I try to be as open minded with their beliefs as possible. I would consider myself a hopeful agnostic, but definitely I do not believe in the Christian god. I do not write this to offend anyone, but I personally believe that this god is unjust.
One question I have for you all is why did your god create a whole race of people, the native Americans who lived on what is now the United states for thousands of years, just to send them all to hell? Most Christian beliefs that I am familiar with have the belief that if you do not believe in Jesus Christ, you will go straight to hell. There were tribes of natives that were brutal, like the Mayans and Aztecs, but there were also those who learned to live in peace for thousands of years, like the Iroquois. It isn't fair in my morals to create all these natives who had never had the chance of hearing of this religion until the 1400's just to send them all to hell.
