In some cultures,it is said that rebirth is due to our sins of the past life.And in some others,we go to hell if we commit sin.
If we come back here because of the sins of our past lives,then why are there still-born children.If we were supposed to be here to suffer the consequences and someone's keeping score ,the hell are there still born babies for?

If there is a hell for every person who commited a sin,for example killing someone in defense.Who's going to keep the score?Who's looking at all of us?If there's a God who can watch all this injustice unfold before them so openly,then why aren't they doing anything?

If God is a morally superior being,how can they sit like a doll and watch all this happen?

Both rebirth and 'hell' are ways of describing natural consequences. It's an amoral way of presenting the idea that ethical behaviour towards others is in our own selfish interests.

Still, we have to remove the corruptions of religion, like eternal hell, for it to make sense. We also have to remove the idea of a judgemental God, since such a being is unnecessary if there's a system operating under cause-and-effect laws.
