Read the gospel of Phillip some time. Yes there are more than 4 gospels. Also, who was with Jesus during his "trial"? Who walked next to him when he was carrying the cross? Who wept the entire time by the cross when he was being crucified? And, when he resurrected, who did Jesus choose to reveal himself too first? Yep Mary Magdalene is the answer for all of those.
Plus she was a hooker so you know she put out.

You know what I like about Jesus? He came down here and said: "Nononononono. Forget all that. Everything my Dad says is bullshit. This is how it is now." That's balls.

That said I think it would be hilarious if after the rapture there are millions and millions of Christians in Hell all waiting for some Demon Customer Service Representative explain to them: "No, sorry. Old Testament rules are still in place. Yes, I realize what Jesus said, but the rules are clearly stated in Leviticus and Deuteronomy."

The cartels are to drugs and the mafia is to gambling and prostitution what the catholic church is to child rape. I was an altar boy and never experienced this. Ugly kid.

I pretty much agree with everything that flats has said here. I am not being honest with myself if I say I believe. That's all there is to it.
I was raised Catholic (also an unmolested altar boy) and told that after Confirmation I could do what I wanted. I never looked back. No offense.
Different religions have risen and fallen since pre-history. People have suffered and died for a myriad of Gods over the centuries. I believe we're living in a period when the Abrahamic God holds sway. I have not (if I'm being completely honest) seen anything to make me think otherwise.
When I've looked at any religion, they all have appeared to be completely man-made to me. "Join us! Do what we say and you will have eternal bliss! If you don't, you will feel eternal suffering! If you doubt any of it, it is evil incarnate that is making you do so!"
Are they serious? The reward is the best thing ever forever and the punishment the worst thing ever forever? Eternal life is a powerful enough concept on its own. No one wants to think about the world going on without us and not caring. It is bleak, but therein lies the hook. We want to feel significant. But then you're gonna throw eternal bliss/suffering on it as well?
Who in the fuck wouldn't want to live forever? In total bliss? With Grandpa and Grandma and all of our childhood pets? I could show Grandpa The Big Lebowski and we could smoke heaven-weed!
And not for a hundred thousand years! Not for a million years! Not for a quadrillion years! Not even for a quadrillion years multiplied by a quadrillion years. Times a billion. And multiplied by a hundred thousand septillion a trillion times. Twice. Still not long enough to register my eternal bliss. Suck it, non-believers of the faith I was born into.
The fact that "Holy War" is even a term that exists should tell you everything you need to know.
Because that's what I picture: God's sitting there on a throne: "Yeah let's have my creations kill each other over the best way to worship me!!"
It just smacks of something that an all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful God would care about: Petty human bullshit.
Classic God!
But that's just where I come out on the whole thing.

Gun to my head I say there is a God but all religion associated with it has been wrong.
Anyone with a brain has to question the existence of any of it. But on the other hand why the fuck are we here if there isn't? Science created this fucked up world where we are born, can't do shit on our own, grow up, work 40 hours, retire, can't do shit on our own then die? There has to be a point. No?

As near as I can tell the point is to keep yourself entertained, while not being a douchebag. It is quite a balancing act.

Just to be clear, that wasn't "wah, wahhhhhh" like you were crying, it was "wah, wahhhhhh" as in the disappointing sound effect.
