If the evidence of God is so compelling and clear and convincing, why are there so many schisms ??
What is there to argue or fight over ??
Why did Martin Luther stop being a Catholic and start his own franchise? He wanted to be the boss.
Who wouldn't? Joseph Smith made a good go of it.
I think a good question along these lines is, doesn't it seem like faith is needed only to believe that god is good rather than bad considering the entire bible reads more like his rap sheet? Because THAT is the one belief above all that requires the most denial of facts and to remain stubborn in one's faith even if the evidence of a god's existence was solid.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
