Speedyman It's possible for people to have a sincere, honest belief, yet be wrong. For example, the 9/11 hijackers.
Anyone who examines the gospels and "declares them to be true" is talking out of their ass. There aren't any other contemporary records with which to verify them, for example, Roman records of a man who was crucified and rose from the dead. That would have been as unusual back then as it would be today. I'm sure there was an itinerant first century Judean rabbi named Yeshua who was crucified for some infraction, but the stories of miracles he supposedly performed were fabricated. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which is completely lacking here. Just because someone says something happened, doesn't mean it did, and the gospels were written between 30 and 80 years after the supposed events.
The only reason you believe this claptrap is because the thought of nonexistence after your death terrifies you for some reason, so you've latched onto this story that reassures you that you'll spend eternity in the happy place with your magical imaginary friend. It also gives you an excuse to feel superior to people who disagree with you. Not that all religious people are like that, but many are, and you're a prime example of the arrogant jerks who have made religion a bloodbath throughout history.
