...exhibit the same about of skepticism or use the same critical thinking skills towards your religious beliefs as you do towards every other aspect of your life? You wouldn't "take it on faith" when I tell you there's an invisible dragon in my garage that's going to eat up all the bad kids in my neighborhood, would you? You wouldn't just loan your life savings to a stranger without some sort of collateral or a signed contract with terms for paying the money back, would you? You wouldn't just accept that there's a magical unicorn who's going to bring you good luck if only give ME some money to buy him some apples to eat, would you? Then why are you so convinced a god you've never seen is going to burn you forever in a place on no map that no one's ever been to if you don't listen to his son, whom no contemporary historian had ever made mention of and about whom he have no firsthand knowledge -- only hearsay accounts from dubious sources?
