I've got a christian grandmother that believes prophesy proves the bible, and she doesn't want to go to hell. I don't bring up religion unless she brings it up, and it's kind of awkward because I don't want to be snarky with her like I sometimes am over here. Plus I'm not as articulate in real life as I am on a board where I can organize my thoughts into a coherent post. I just count myself lucky that she's not nearly as hardcore as some christians I've heard of.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
