Why do people believe in christianity?

People believe in Christianity because that is what they want to believe. They want to believe that if they are not saved they will go to hell. That is what they want to believe. More importantly, they want people to go to hell. The reason why people believe in Christianity is because they want to believe that people will go to hell and suffer for all eternity. It has nothing to do with Jesus Christ or being saved. It has to do with what they want. People are still caught up in this idea that we need to suffer for what we have done. No, no one needs to suffer. We only need to experience the consequence of what we have done and not suffer for it.

Eh I don't know many people that want there to be hell or desire suffering. Some of us fear it but we don't want it.

@midnightrose then why are you so afraid to face your God and tell him that you think that hell should not exist?

@James25 Why would I need to tell him when he already knows my thoughts? What would that change? He isn't going to get rid of hell just because I complain and say I don't like it.

Why do you think there should not be a hell and why does the idea of a hell turn you away from believing in God? What is your thought process there?

I asked myself that question all the time. Why not just accept how God does things? Because I can't. I would be lying to myself. God is supposed to know whether you are being truthful or not. And he would know that I am not being truthful by saying that I accept how he does things. I think it is wrong. Sending people to hell is wrong. That is just how I feel. And I cannot accept a god who would send people to hell. It is just how I feel.

That's any religion.

And this is why the evil Mayor Gangleslotte created the false religion of Christianity. He desired to control humanity, but also to cause their fall. That is why the Christian religion is so clearly self-contradictory, yet the victims of Gangleslotte cannot see the contradictions.

@ProphetOfFarblesnozz yes a very accurate analogy of the truth.

In other astonishing news, people take the bus because they have somewhere to go, and the ocean is blue because it reflects the color of the sky.
