I read the bible when I was a kid, my parents made me go to a sunday school and the sisters used to get mad at me for the questions I would ask. Like why does god want this guy to kill his own child, isn't that evil? How did Adam and Eve deal with dinosaurs? Why should we worry about our actions if God has it all planned out? Why is god such a .........? (Got smacked hard for that one but it was worth it) Funny thing is other kids started asking hard questions too after they started thinking about it. I decided very early on that I wasn't buying into their story, I may have been a kid but even I could see holes in the story. Fortunately my Dad dropped religion when the catholic church would not accept my mom because she had been divorced.

I think a lot of people just want to believe this and they are afraid to question because then they might have to come up with a good reason to keep believing.
