I used to go to a christian church in my teens. the church was full of loving people and I felt so at ease with them. However, when i went to a church camp, on the way down there I had a conversation with a pastor's wife. I had studied previously about reincarnation and whatnot. I had read a book about hypnotism and evidence how this worked in different cases where people have had issues carried over. (there is also a case like this on the old unsolved mysteries, called the reincarnated submariner. It's pretty convincing) Anyway, when I asked her about this, her explanation of this, even at the age of 14 I knew held no water compared to all the evidence I had studied previously. So, this kind of ate at me to why are there these inconsistencies like this. Then I went to visit my grandma and we layed in bed and she told me all about a psychic named Edgar Cayce. He was quite an individual, gave psychic readings for medical treatments that were seemingly bizarre, but worked! He was actually a devout Christian. He did these readings for people free of charge for decades. There was a point that his readings, while tried and true he had an inner conflict that his readings talked about reincarnation which he thought was "of the devil'. But finally he was convinced that it was actually true. Plus being psychic isn't of the devil. He was the farthest thing, he felt compelled to help people and heal people and did it for free. THAT is not of the devil. It's not witchcraft. It's not the "occult" (or christian's definition of "occult")
When you think about it, if God is a loving God, he wouldn't just throw us away after one life if we didn't succeed at what we were supposed to do. A loving God would give us a chance to work it off. Another thing about religion that I think is kind of wrong, is that we're taught one religion as fact, when what we should be doing is learning all different religions and then choosing the one that we see is right. When you study the ancient texts of the world, you see some of the world's history that was left out of the bible. If your religion is accurate, it should hold up to scrutiny... and if it doesn't, as confusing as it can be, think of it this way. Man made religion, god didn't make religion.
