Isn't it much easier to believe that one will live for the entire eternity in joy?
When things get hard here on life, it's going to get better some day. This is just temporary.
I've been a christian myself (my parents are fervorous christians), i went to church every saturday and sunday (in the middle of the week we had meetings also) so i know how its like to grow being contantly taught that christ is the only salvation and blabla. It ends up making perfect sense, and anyone who says something you disagree with, you deny it on your mind the same time you hear it.
Its a hell of a brainwash. I dont know what miracle happened that i managed to set myself free of it (every friend of mine who has grown with me on church is still a fervorous christian)
I can't explain why people believe god for someone who has never really been brainwashed. But i understand it. I guess only who's been there and had the experience knows what i'm talking about.
This experience led me to understand the muslam terrorists. I dont hate them because i know they are just brainwashed, and i know how it is like, i can actually picture myself perfectly in their place had i grown up in their environment. Anyone could be like them. Scary thought to have, but its true.
