Okay I'm not denying that but what are they? So we're just supposed to get away with anything without any consequences? Jesus also says that no matter what is written in the Bible HE makes the final judgement as to whether or not a person makes it into Heaven. It's not up to us to know or decide. 
pfft.
that kind of contradicts everything you just said. he could be a big asshole and you not even know it, assuming he's a judge.
Mkay then I ask you this... Assuming from the Christian stand point, that we're all God's children, why in the world would he WANT to send us to Hell. KNOWING, that he's a loving God, since it came from his mouth, and was put directly in the bible. Would a father on Earth want to decide which of his kids were going to be sent to Hell no matter what he did? No. It would rip him to shreds. Same thing with Jesus Christ. Again, we're assuming Christianity is true for argument's sake. So Jesus Christ died on the cross because he didn't WANT to choose which of his children would be sent to Hell. He gave them a CHOICE, because he's a loving God, not a controlling God. If he forced people on Earth to believe in him then that would be wrathful and selfish.
your last sentence is contradicting, he does force people to believe in him. not in so many words, but its either, believe in me or go to hell. what is your choice?

Religion is man's way of putting God in a box.
That's assuming that there is a God.
No, it's not God that's put in a box, it's the rituals and beliefs concerning God that are boxed up.
Some would argue that that is all that God is.
Some probably would... but who are those "some"? Most likely the one who claim He doesn't exist.
Yes, most likely. I have yet to fall on either side.

Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it.
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off
