What I mean by that, is that since believers are promised paradise, many believers can be gullible people. It cannot be argued that every single believer has not believed out of gullibility.
But then if gullibility can lead to belief, then why is belief always praised?
Well, most of the time you don't "accept" any of the religions you've mentioned. You're simply born into it. If there are any converts that you know, maybe you should check them for the gullibility factor.
Well we are gullible as kids. And then later, when we grow up, a lot of remain gullible to the "evidence" of our religion along with bias kicking in.
But my argument doesn't even have to be that most believers are gullible, it simply has to be that some can believe primarily due to this factor. If some believe due to primarily this factor along with bias, then don't you think it's unfair rewarding them for belief and praising it, just because it happens to be the true religion, while others will believe in false religions for the same reason and be condemned?
