christians! Come and convert me!

RE: christians! Come and convert me!
I'm not a Christian, but I think I can answer one of you questions regarding why they chose to be Christian.

Let's see, first off, they were most likely taught at an early age so it would stick to them. They were taught from the Bible that there is this omniscient being named God that created everything that there is to see, smell, feel, taste, hear, sense, measure. Of course, if you actually wanted to actually buy into that stuff from Genesis, you'll learn about God creating everything in 6 days and resting on the 7th, even though somehow he took the same amount of time creating both the Earth and Universe (really awkward though). Once you have that engraved in your head, you learn about how faith plays a major role in life (somehow) and you even learn about the "great" teachings taught from the bible like moral values, and you learn how "great" Jesus Christ was when he first walked on the Earth to greet people and to teach them about great things. To prove that Jesus was God himself, his miracles and his walking on water scene and more were spoken of showing off that he's indeed the Heavenly Father because no other human has Supernatural powers like Jesus had. Once they bought into that, there are other things like holy sacrament, salvation, baptism and all of that drama. The Bible makes them feel safe about their beliefs because of an idea called Faith, so no mattter what, they'll always stick with Christianity.

Woah, I think that I sounded a bit like a Christian myself, oh god!
