No problem. It's ok for us to have different opinions.
I do agree with you about many of the above points. Some of the claims are very farfetched, nor do I believe them myself.
There is a lot of evidence that there is some kind of heven or hell afterwords. These are from reports of people with near death (or revived) experiences, and of the people who care for them and watch their reactions. But, its not restricted to one religion or culture. It's worldwide across all religions and cultures and the documentation of it goes back thousands of years worldwide wherever such records exist.
Again, I had that information back in the 1980's or 1990's before the internet.
I've previously posted on that - with I belive some links to the main evidence sites.
Do some internet searches and you will find the data.
Have a great life - and may there be peace between us.
I often read about near-death experiences. A common theme seems to be a tunnel that you move thru. An exception is my Dad who looked suddenly paralyzed in fear by whatever he saw a few seconds before he died. My sister and I are pretty sure that he went to hell.
That fear is often reported by people who watch those that are dying, or people who are brought back from near death or technical death itself. If they live they repress the memory within seconds and their face returns to normal.
Whereas other people talk of pleasant things waiting for them - and often long lost friends and family.
Here's something to think about. If you take the Judo Christian "10 Commandments" and remove the ones that specify who you are to worship and when... the remaining ones are repeated concept for concept in all other major religions in the world. They relate to how you treat other people and live.
Personally, I don't think that is an accident that all major cultures and religions in the world came up with the exact same rules as how to treat other people and live in society.
What is the chance of that happening "independently"?
What's so special about Jesus?

Just an after thought.

I’d say the chances are pretty good. Those rules are the only ones that work. Societies that use different rules don’t last very long.
It’s natural selection working at a cultural level.
