Who decides what is or isn’t a sin?  God, correct? If you sin you go to hell. Jesus came to save us. Save us from what?  Our sin. Who decides what is sin? God. If Jesus didn’t come to make the world a better place, but rather to save the individual; why did god create sin? If god wasn’t trying to make the world a better place with teachings such as murder is a sin, then what was god doing?

I just question the moral authority of a god who would damn me for taking his name in vain, but gives tacit approval to slavery by instructing slaves to obey their masters. I don’t understand the logic.

You are asking a lot of questions in which I agree.  I have my beliefs and there are the Christian beliefs.  Some things don't make a lot of sense.  
We are sent here knowing literally nothing, and are told to figure it all out in 80 years if we are lucky, (much less time over most of our history history) or spend eternity suffering. That's ridiculous.  
I love you, but I I may feel the need to torture you for eternity.  
If God wants everyone to go to heaven, then it's impossible that they don't.  
God would never need us to constantly tell Him how great He is.  I mean that's some serious ego-maniacal shit right there.
