Sorry you didn’t get there, but you didn’t miss a once in a lifetime event either. Religion has no place in society or scouts. One day it will be gone and kids like you won’t have to deal with that.
If he's going to be judging the dead when he comes back, why are Christians always talking about people currently being in heaven or hell? Shouldn't they all be chilling in purgatory until Jesus gets around to judging them?
Eh, millions of people also believe(d) that:
....were real and divine. And would have sworn on their life that it was true.
But your minority religion is the one that's finally real, right?
You missed a bunch of good ones:
In all likelyhood, just as real as the ones you listed :)
THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHIEF WILL COME
We have some really weak records that some dude existed.
That doesn't mean anything about why your mythology is true. We also have records of lots of people who millions believed were divine.
But heres another thing: You are not a Christian because it's Truth.
You're a Christian because your parents were. That's it. That's the main reason you believe what you do and swear it is real. You happened to be born into it.
Same as how 99.9999% of Hindus are only Hindu because their parents were, or Muslims, or etc. They also believe what they do not because it's the Real Truth. But because of where they were born. Which is a really, really weak reason.
...And anyway - there's a whole lot more people alive today who believe in other religions; why should I believe yours over theirs?
I'm sure it's going to get right on that.
