Just Don't Get It
#4
RE: Just Don't Get It
As one who was brainwashed from birth into religion, when everyone you know follows it, everyone in your family follows it, and they constantly remind you of the punishment of hell, it's easy to make yourself believe in it. Plus what Faith No More said about the warm, fuzzy blanket. If you live your whole life thinking that you have a special purpose in the universe and are going to be with the all-powerful creator of the universe after you die, it's hard to want to strip yourself of this feeling.

Ace is also right that more younger people are rejecting religion. In my area, at least, or the few times I've been obligated to go to a Catholic mass, I've noticed that you see very few 18-30 year olds there, or sometimes even 18-40 year olds. It's mainly younger kids because they're going with their parents, and older people.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
