What is it about religion that makes people give up their minds to dogma? Especially with so many religions saying totally opposite things. How can such a person look at all the other religions and say to themselves, my religion is the one true religion?
it makes one happy. we are not machines. we occasionaly do some leaps of faith simply because it makes us happy.

2Thes 1:7 - 9 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power ..
How do you sleep knowing that you might have to face the wrath of God?

Is there anything in your delusions that can deal with that?

That is not my specific issue, just showing the complexity of the modern world using a book 2000 years old written by men and formulated in the council of Nicosea in the 300's. Where many other books written at the time didn't make it to your bible, the books you read were not written by god and neither were the thousand other ones which didn't make it to your bible in that council.
If there ever was a time when a god was needed to come down and tell us what to do, it is now, not some 2000 year old tale essentially worthless for today's world.

Is it not possible to deal with terrorists and still appreciate the 2000 year old book.
By the way you did not answer my first question...😉
