There is nothing moral about trying to tell someone what to believe or to try and change what they believe.

No - I am not offended. Having opinion on the subject is what you are supposed to do.
I absolutely do not believe the bible is accurate in any way - - in regards to the truth about the real historical Jesus.
I do believe there is truth in the bible - - - as most stories have truth in them.
I do not believe the "mythical bible Jesus" story at all. I mean zero.

What I am always struggling with is how one religion can be "good" and the other "bad". It's just perspectives and in the end just one of the paths anyone chooses to travel. I personally think it does not matter much which path you choose and even if you choose an undefined path you are still on a path

I agree.
People are people. You give them a tool and then they decide how to use the tool.
Expression of god - - should be felt - - in thought - expression - action.
Who the hell cares about "god's words". If someone is hungry - - - show up at their door with a bag full of food - - - and keep your mouth shut.

What you say is true, but remember God says that not all that have ears will hear. He does not say they will not be forgiven or be able to go to heaven. These are 2 separate concepts that are often mashed together. Everyone’s path to heaven will be Jesus but not everyone will understand that the love inside them that guides them is from Jesus.
In my opinion the best way one can know the heart of a person is by looking at his fruit (children). A good tree produces good fruit while a bad tree produces bad fruit.

So how does one explain those who possess hearts that are black and full of hatred? Are they evil? Are they misfortuned? Are they doomed? You can not help what you feel, right?.
