1) According to the Bible, “He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power.” (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9)
The Bible was written by man and not god. What constitutes that man can understand the notion and morality of god IF said god exists? His mere assumption through faith? That would still be, at its core, just an assumption man has made about something it cannot understand

Going back to your original question, I gave you the answer to your question in black and white straight from the Bible - as are ALL of the answers to the questions you are asking if you'd bother to read all of it.
With that said, I understand you're questioning the validity of the book itself but I'm nowhere near a historian, just as you aren't, so I'm not gonna talk out of my ass. All I can say is the answers are there, take it or leave it.
But seriously though if everyone thought the way you do, and we all do sometimes, we'd just kill ourselves. What would be the point of waking up if we have nothing to believe in?
That couldn't be farther from the truth. The point of waking up is waking up. What more do you need? Life holds the meaning that we INDIVIDUALLY give it. It means that we have a sense of moral duty and responsibility and not that we should sit back with our religious crutch and say, "its in god's hands." In fact, it is in our hands. If your religion is meaningful to you it is because YOU have given it meaning. Not because it has external meaning. I may not be a historian however, I do care enough to know from the point of which I argue, whether my opinion differs from yours or not. I'd try Albert Camus, he's insightful and easier to read if you're interested. You'll find more names associated with his school of thought if you bother to read him. I'm no longer willing to put it on a plate for you as I have done for the brunt of this discussion
