If God wants me to believe in him, why is he presenting absolutely no credible evidence? A story book that a 5 year old can tell is mostly fiction? Hell, I was actually 5 and I knew it was fiction. It's really sad that I could think more clearly about this at 5 than some adults can. This isn't bragging, it's because I wasn't indoctrinated.
It's a book of nonsense, and the first mistake is to assume that any of it happened at all. To assume any of the characters are real.
I honestly think there are 4 reasons people believe, or claim to believe:
1) They are very gullible and will believe anything if enough other people believe it
2) They have been brainwashed so that they aren't event aware they are not making any sense
3) They know they are not making sense but they don't care
4) They are scared shitless not to believe
The only question is which category to put each person in. Maybe some sort of game show! What prizes will there be? I want a camper van! How many points for that?
