And yet, these people spout their beliefs as if they are undeniable fact. They KNOW "God" exists! They KNOW he answers prayers! They KNOW Jesus will return. They KNOW heaven is waiting for them when they die.
These same dingbats also KNEW that Zeus was in the sky throwing lightning bolts. They KNEW that Apollo rode through the heavens on a chariot of fire. They KNEW that witches could cause cattle to die and crops to wither. These people would have bet their very lives that these things were true.
And they were all wrong.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
