This gullibility is how ALL religions get started. It is why Scientology exists. It is why con man and convicted criminal Joseph Smith was able to start Mormonism.
And even outside religion, it is why people fell for the "balloon boy" scam. It is why people believe that Ouija Boards work. It is why people believe in big foot and crop circles.
Now you think I am being mean to you in saying that? Blunt yes, mean, no.
I say this to get you to consider all the other religious claims of others that you rightfully reject and know are absurd, as I do, and aim that logic at your own claims.
That self introspection is healthy, not bad.
