I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

Jesus was literally just a guy. So many people are out there killing people in the name of Jesus, because that's what he would do. Or "Jesus died for our sins" do you really think he's sitting up in heaven watching over us thinking, "Wow, I sure am glad that these lunatics are murdering people for me" he could have been an accountant for all we really know.

Yes, it is very difficult for many of us to understand how people can believe a story as patently weird as the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus.
What I have learned, is that people hold onto even a silly sounding belief system because it makes them feel like they're not going to die, or that somebody somewhere will save them. Worse, it does no good to try to change their mind.
It is very difficult to deprogram a Christian as they are completely surrounded by other believers.
There are some very interesting brand studies that suggest that some people are hardwired to believe in things and others more to be skeptical of them. I am in the last category.
