Back in the day when I red the Bible I became a convinced atheist. Almost as if a person needs to read Scripture through a correct paradigm to come to a correct interpretation. I wonder what that paradigm is? Could it perhaps be the institution established by the One that speaks through the text? Nah, that's a man-made tradition. Just read it in your closet and you'll definitely get everything right on your own. Your interpretation will most likely align with what at least one of the 10000 different sects teaches out there.
Assuming any of them is the true Church (spoiler alert: it is not because history) 10000 to 1 for being correct is not that bad I guess.
There is no "true Church" other than the personal ministry of Jesus Christ himself; no other path. All men are fallible and so all the works of men are corrupt.

Yes, but the paradigm is simple: God is Good.
If you read the bible as though God is a fallible human who makes mistakes (or even that exists within space and time), and try to judge Him, you will find Him wanting because he doesn't do and say what you would do and say. You implicitely place yourself above God, hence atheism.
If you instead approach the matter as though everything God does is Good, and then try to understand why it's Good, you will come to the Truth.
Catholicism is great at "converting" Jews and Browns, but terrible at bringing people to God's Truth.
a) Men (plural) implies sum of one (singular) within all (singular).
b) All falls (inception towards death) so that each one within can rise (life).
everything God does is Good
God implies good implies everything doing...IS implies each thing trying to define everything to one another, which can't be good.
converting
Aka con (together) vert (to turn)...a conflict. God delineates (inception towards death) apart (life)...a variance of opposing differences not in conflict with one another unless choosing to turn against one another.
