(April 7, 2010 at 10:36 am)darkwolf176 Wrote: I simply can't understand why people believe in religious texts such as the Bible and the Qur'an. They have been changed so many times are written based on hearsay long after events that took place, contain events which are simply impossible and are full of so many contradictions.

Can someone explain why people so blindfully place their faith in them without question?

Thanks

Do you believe that Julius Caesar existed? Why?
