If all this is required to confidently live as the Bible's god desires you to, then virtually every Christian will have lived and died in error.

Yes. That is why I believe the Bible describes the True Path as being a narrow one.
But in fairness, every self-described atheist and critic of Christianity has also missed the message. So you and they are in good company...
Heaven must be sparsely populated.
The Bible suggests exactly that.
Including that bit about only 144,000(?) inhabitants, which the JWs cleave to. But most Christians seem to take a different view, expecting to go there and probably encounter all their relatives, and maybe even their pets.
Because for most Christians, their religion is a scaffolding that they ornament with their own very unChristian beliefs, never realizing the faith isnt about rewarding them in the afterlife but showing them how to live righteously in a world dominated by hate, bigotry, greed and power.
That I'd agree with... Rather the company of atheists and critics than the company of foolish hypocrites or know-it-alls like you. All day and twice on Sundays in fact.
