Christianity offers a comforting story for people who need to be comforted about the uncertainties of the afterlife.

Thanks for that, but I don't think so;

As I just said, one of the basic tenets of Christianity is that all people are terrible sinners and deserve eternal suffering. Anyone who isn't saved gets that, and you can't know for sure that you're saved.
It's the fear that gets 'em goin', sir.

Well, one could argue knowing you're going to hell is better than not knowing what the hell's gonna happen.

Of course, knowing the Christian Hell, I would disagree. Never took a liking to the place.

But there's also the fact that anyone can be saved if they keep confessing and all that... although I'm not sure to what extent-- and don't want to know, really. Religious beliefs are funny but they're not my cup of tea.

The essence of Christianity: There are three Gods with are one God. One of them is a savior who allows us to enter heaven if we accept him as our savior, but we will go to hell if we don't. This means: Christians (possibly with some exceptions) will go to heaven, and non-Christians (regardless of whether they are good or bad) will go to hell. But God(s), in spite of sending non-believers to hell, loves them. And is omnibenevolent. And merciful. Just not merciful to forgive a lifetime on nonbelief, even though he offers to evidence that he exists. Also, God(s) created the world 6000 years ago and planted all the fossils and created the geological strata, and made stars millions of light years away visible in order to "test our faith"--that is, deceive rational people and make them nonbelievers, so that they could be sent to hell. And, murdering entire races of men, women, and children if you want their land is moral if God permits, and drowning every living thing with the exception of a few individuals is as well.

The essence of atheism: The above is bullshit.
