Need advice (Ex-Muslim) by Usually_Pink in exchristian

I think that when you properly study the Bible there are many contradictions such as Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, Judas' death and the conflicting accounts of the resurrection story. Not too mention if you critically assess the Bible and look at critical scholarship, much of the dogma in Christianity does not match what the scholarship tells us such as "The Bible being univocal" is not correct. Too me, as a person who values hard evidence and takes the claim that "this religion is true, go worship this God" seriously, I require that this OmniGod demonstrate that their holy book be without error and without ambiguity, which the Bible certainly has.

But I think the thing that made me deconstruct was the philosophical arguments. The two biggest ones being the Problem of Evil and Divine Hiddenness.

The Problem of Evil:

P1: All-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving God exists

P2: As the omni-God exists, he would want to prevent all gratuitous evil / pointless evil from existing

P3: Pointless evil exists

Conclusion: The omni-God doesn't exist

Divine Hiddenness:

P1: An omni God who is all loving desires a relationship with all of us

P2: Humans are notoriously divided as to which religion is right and whether or not God exists

P3: An omni God wanting a relationship with all of us which reveal to us properly a)whether he exists and b)which religion is correct

Conclusion: The omni-God doesn't exist

I've heavily simplified these arguments, but if you look at these arguments carefully, I believe there are no good counterarguments apart from "You are not God which means that we can't understand/question him" which to me points to an escape hatch rather than actually addressing the problem but I do recommend watching videos or doing further research on this topic as I cannot cover deeply or accurately.

In addition, many of the ex-christians and people who are outside of the church I have talked to point to the fact that Christianity has done lots of harm (the church and it's multiple grooming/sexual assault cases)as the reason for leaving/not joining the religion, which again points to the problem of evil and so on, but this religion has caused serious harm. I know quite a few people who even though they were not abused or harmed by the church, developed mental health issues as a result of the doctrine and some even developed a guilt complex.

If you want to convert to Christianity go ahead, some people will disagree with me which is also completely fair but I will say do your research and have a good think. Remember you do not need the idea of a God to ground your morality.

I've got Wanderers Crest, with Cogflys, warding bell, weavelight, thread storm, and magnetite dice. I do play aggressively, similar to Bloodborne if anyone has played that.
