Look at your own life and where it relates to Christianity.
You doubted something, Got nothing from God. Had no one to help you understand, you left.
Do you really truly think you are so much smarter than those who lived 2000 years ago?
Well, SOME of us are...
I can promise you they went through the same thing, but something stopped them. either a brother in the faith or God Himself.
No one will hang around a dead religion. that is what your experienced has taught you.
That is why Christian as lasted as long as it has. It was not dead. Seeing Christ is not enough to sustain belief for a life time. it take daily reminders to establish and maintain proper belief.
That, and it was enforced at the point of a sword.
And, seeing someone who was killed and came back to life won't stick with you for a lifetime?! It would me. That's another big strike against believing. If you really believed it happened, if you have such a close relationship with Jesus, why would you ever lose that belief? Believers believe in belief, not that they really think these things happened. The act of believing is what makes them feel good.
Your version of Christianity did not support this so you like everyone else who needs support walks away, because they do not have what they were promised.
And others just make up a new sect to avoid all those pesky thing they don't want to believe or do.

Or would you die of starvation because you do not know any of the basics of survival or would not even know how to beg?
A true measure of intelligence is not based on just pointless facts. It is the ability to live if not thrive in any situation based on one's ability to learn and adapt.
How stupid would you be in 1 century wearing you modern cloths and shoes (putting people off just by the sight of you) spouting out how smart you are in a language no one has ever heard, dying in 3 days of thirst, because you do not know how to tap the natural water supply nor can you communicate well enough to ask someone for help..
That said you are right the earth is round...
You may no know the basics of survival, but many do. And as far as the last paragraph, you're a babbling idiot.
I think Apostle Paul and Joseph Smith would have much to talk about.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
