The real reason people are Christians

[Gackt]

A long time ago, I used to be "Christian", but I didn't see any meaning, it was more like wanting to avoid hell. Now I believe Christianity is a bunch of bullshit, but why are so many old people christians? Is it like they're so close to their death, that they want to suck up to God so they don't have to go to Hell? I don't see any help in Chirstianity, when people pray, how would that they know if they're talking to an actual being, or just oxygen? I think Christianity is turning into terrorism, barely any freedom in it, but to live a perfectly clean and boresome life, with the lingering fear of going to Hell, the mortal fear of death. I don't see how people can be Christians really.. And what kind of loving god would send a human to ETERNAL damnation, there is nothing that a human can do so dark and so evil to deserve an eternity of pain, the thought of eternal pain would scare people into being a christian, like a way to control masses.

Actually, you do fear death, and that is one reason Christianity appeals to you. It tells you what you want to hear.

I always hear the same thing. You just made it much longer, why not just say the real reason people are Christians is because the church uses scare tactics. But I tell you Christianity is not about doing good deeds.

If it's not about good deeds, then what is it?

It all seems like a plot to round up the human race.

how is christianity trying to round up the human race? because someone is forcing you to practice something?/ oh, wait..they're not. Perhaps Christians care about other people or something

[Betrayal]

They just need something to believe in. If you don't believe in after life, then it is pointless. But if you do, you pray just for the little chance to make it to Heaven, if it actually does exsist.

When a religious parent indoctrinates there child aren't they forcing religion upon them.
