How can they be so gullible????

How any sane person can believe so strongly in something, and even be willing to die for something that can't be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, is beyond me... If there were a good and righteous 'god' of any kind, watching over us, do you really think so many people would be suffering???

I think the whole religious concept was invented by man, to rule man. Our best bet would be to come to that realization and just try to be nice to the next person, and whatever happens after we die, happens. (No, I don't see that ever happening, but what the heck?) For all any of you know, we could be in a test tube, on some cosmic scientist's shelf, long ago forgotten about and left to fend for ourselves. And oh yeah, WHERE ARE THE MIRACLES THESE DAYS???? SHOW ME A SEA PARTED BY SOMEONE!! ANYTHING THAT CAN BE PROVEN BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT!!!!!!!! (As if....).

The problem I have, is that all the bible bangers of the world, can't play nice like they taught us in Kindergarten, and are gonna get us ALL killed.... Unbelievable...
