possible answer to why you should believe
#4
RE: possible answer to why you should believe
The problem with the benefit of the doubt, and just hedging your bets by picking something, is that there are mutually exclusive deities. You can't be a jew and a christian and a muslim and a bhuddist and a hindu and whatever other active religions there are. Christians like to believe that their god is the only one out there, so you will pick Jesus or you don't pick anything. Even if you decide to go with an Abrahamic religion, there are three of them with their own divisions. Even if you picked christianity, will you be a catholic, orthodox, or protestant?

It's a long way between "there must be a creator" to "Jesus is the way the truth and the light".
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
