267. No Christian has any 'subjective' experience of their belief, they believe what they are 'told' to b
believe. If they were born Muslim...they'd be Muslim...or born a Jew they'd be Jewish...left to what they experience inside personally...they'd just be spiritual. Being told what to believe means you don't have to think or figure it out yourself. People believed in Zeus just as fervently and adamantly as Christians believe in their God...praying constantly for his will etc..

The Christ story has been repeated several times prior to the Biblical story and with all the same miracles and players. Closed minded bigots are taught never to question what they are told to believe in spite of their God given critical thinking abilities. How well they victimize those who dare to disagree. Beliefs are not reality, they are just what you believe while others may believe something different.
