I remember, back when I was a Christian, how easy it was to find the ridiculous in other faiths: Mormons are taught that God is married, and that he and Mrs God live on a planet of a nearby star. Mormons are taught that each of us can become a god, too. They also believe Jesus visited Missouri, that Ancient Jews lived in America and became Indians! Hindus believe that the world is held up by two giant elephants. Shintoists believe that the Emperor of Japan is a god. Scientologists believe our souls were once held prisoner in volcanoes. All very easy to mock. But Christians believe some ridiculous things, too. The most vile, wicked, cruel, murdering rapist and pedaphile can live eternally in Heaven just by accepting Christ a minute before he dies, while someone who never heard of Jesus is damned to Hell however good a person he is. Christians believe that God is all-knowing, yet persist in praying for Him to change His mind! Christians believe that Bible is the literal Word of God, inspite of scientific evidence that the Bible is wrong about history, science, geography, medicine, astronomy, etc. Christians even believe that there are angels flying around! I know. I used be one. Animals are why I am not. God once demanded animal sacrifices so he could enjoy the smell of their burning flesh. He murdered innocent babies, children and animals in the genocide of Canaan. He drowned billions of animals in the Flood. I figured God was evil or didnt exist. Either way, I was out of there.
