All that you're proving is that religion is a blind leap of faith into a giant pool of the unkown... What shy has been saying this ENTIRE time is that NOTHING is supported by hard facts, other then a book that (I agree with him on this) was written by men who said they talked to God. Keeping that in mind, it is hard to actually come up with any true evidence, so those who believe will go on believing because it is natural to them, and those who choose to question authority will question it... I find arguing with any member of a church utterly pointless, no matter how much logic you throw at them it falls on deaf ears. It is not because they are stupid, or refuse to listen to reason (if you can call it that, it all has to do with point of view) but rather that, when speaking on the topic of religion, none of it can be proven or disproved with the application of knowledge... why?? because religion is literally mysticism and is meant to be unreal, to the point where we could never be able to accomplish such tasks, but in the same sense real enough that it is within the realm of possibility that a being so superior actually exists... I believe in God, I believe he is the answer to the question how... I do not however believe that he bore a son to die for our sins, because it doesn't make sense... Why did he choose that time?? What was so wrong with the world that we needed spiritual cleansing then?? If you look at the world today, we are much worse off then back then, so why not now?? and if not now why not get it out of the way when humans first started to take their first stumbling steps in the evolutionary chain?? I also despise religions for the same fake aspect... The religions are bitter mirrors of each other, each claiming that if you follow the other, you're going to hell, and only they can save you. They are constantly trying to recruit more "followers" and grow more and more powerful and influential, and all their horrors they commit, they hide behind God (the crusades, the witch burnings, bombing of abortion clinics, suicidal bombers, jihads, etc.) and say it is for him. It has become a mass hypnosis, everyone ignores the word of God, which is right in front of him, and listens to the old man in a dress, and they assume he is leading them correctly... It will be a sad day when someone truly corrupt (I say truly because in respect, all humans are corrupt) takes the reigns as "religious leader" and begins some large scale holy war to eradicate the "philistines," which, if you think about it, doesn't seem that unlikely (all we need is a Hitler type to take control), and you will all follow blindly, because that is what you've been taught. God exists, follow Him blindly. Jesus died for you, follow him blindly. Your religion represents both, follow it blindly....
