The truth is, this has been asked in a different form many times over.
Jesus didn't show up till as recent as 2000 years ago. What about the millions, possibly billions, of people that lived and died before the name of Jesus Christ had ever been spoken? Even after Christ supposedly lived and died - it wasn't like information was zipping around the planet. Billions more have died without ever having heard the name of Christ. The whole idea of everyone accepting some isolated desert deity who didn't even have the decency to visit the entire continent, let alone the entire globe is lunacy.
Jesus Christ:
Shows up late, as the human race had been around for thousands of years by the time he was born. Only stays a measly 30 years, 18 of which he is completely unaccounted for. He only does miracles for certain people. He only travels in the middle east and makes absolutely no attempt to visit neighboring continents. He doesn't tell the world about germs and disease or even how to fight gingivitis for that matter. He demands faith from everyone accept for his 12 closest friends who need no faith because they have the proof right in front of them. He makes an appeal not to judge others but than judges and condemns the entire human race simply for being born. And to top it all off, he claims that he sacrificed himself for the entire planet by "dying" on the cross for a sinful nature that his old man gave us. Meanwhile he rests comfortably in Heaven for 2000 years and no one has seen hide nor hair of him.
And yet somehow, the stupids are still signing up for membership every day.
