Most religions confuse me. On one hand they preach peace, kindness, etc...and on the other they condemn those who don't believe the same thing they do. It's baffling.

That's one of the reasons that turned me off.
When I was younger my mother tried to sit me down and tell me about her beliefs(Greek Orthodox).
I asked her if she believed her God was the only and real God. She said yes.
I thought for a moment and said...right now there is a mother and her son sitting at the kitchen table having this same discussion. But they are of different religious beliefs than you. What makes you right and her wrong?
She didn't really have an answer to me.
Since then it's one less thing I need to try and wrap my head around as to me there has been no hard proof of anything. I live my life believing in things that have been proven and are fact. Like C6 says...see you in hell.
Then again, I couldn't care what anyone's beliefs are as long as they don't preach it to me or others.
