I'm always confused when a Christian says, it is in the bible. Like that is all that is required for it to be the truth.
I would bet that many Christians don't care enough to question their faith.
It's what they have been told by trusting the folks in their lives. That is good enough.
All they have to do is ask for forgiveness in Jesus name and walla, they are back to being the person they always have been. Minus the demerits. It's a book that is pliable enough to make a harmless word salad out of nearly everything. It is clearly a superstition. One of mans early and clumsy way to make a homogeneous society in an age when they didn't know where the noise of thunder came from. It warms my heart to see that the fastest growing group of religions is being slowly taken over by the nones!
To be fair, many Westerners outside the US see Christianity more as a cultural identity than a religious faith, so it doesn’t matter much to them. For example, in the UK, more people identify as “Christian” than actually believe in God.
