And to ensure replies: This is one of the reasons why I don't believe in God.
All those people all thought they had the one true religion bit down. They believed in Zeus or Odin and their creation stories. Or thought that the world was flat and carried around on a giant turtle flying through space.
What makes Christians, Jews, and Muslims so sure they got it right this time when so many others were "wrong" and eventually faded from existence once another more attractive religion came along?
Not to mention that since it happened before, it'll surely happen again and that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam will be replaced with something else.

Well, I'm starting to believe in god and have faith because I can't contemplate existence or why I exist. It keeps me up at night just thinking about the universe and all the forms of life we have on just this planet. However, I don't agree with most things that are in the bible, they are outdated stories. I like the messages that I hear in church such as being selfless, forgiving, and helping others and that's what I try to do.
