Maybe indeed I am in a game and I forgot to turn it off and all the other "people" are just characters in a game.
I mean it makes sense because how can there really be people who believe that a man rode a flying horse to heaven to negotiate how many times a day people should pray? Or people who believe that there wouldn't be morality in the world if they didn't believe that carpenter walked on water 2k years ago?
This just can't be real. I better find the turn-off switch.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
