Don't Understand The Appeal Of Christianity To People

That shit is nice when kids are young and innocent. When fully grown adults profess to believe in them it is just fucking creepy.
I went to some crazy raves in my youth and it now turns out I should've been going to church instead.

I don't understand why other people don't just grow out of it though the same way they grow out of belief in Santa Claus as I did, even with the child indoctrination. The whole thing is so unrealistic and completely contradicted by evidence. Why didn't child indoctrination ever work on me?
The extremists who will kill you over it, and the fire and brimstone preacher who wants to instill the "fear of god" into you. Also propaganda. Because killing someone and spilling innocent blood can make you a better person somehow.

Santa hadn't arrived in my country when I was little. But I certainly had a stronger belief in the Christkind and the Easter bunny than I had in god. The former brought cool presents after all, while the latter didn't do anything at all. Also, my parents didn't drag me to church that often. Christmas and Easter was about all. My most vivid memories are of freezing my ass off at christmas and falling asleep during mass.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

I'm still having trouble with the 'all ya gotta do is believe in Jesus to achieve Salvation' and the subsequent 40,000 schisms over that pretty damn simple precept.
How did The Jesus manage to fuck that up so completely thoroughly ?? The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Believing that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, is one of the few strings that connect 2.5 billion people on the planet. Everything else is up in the air.
