When it comes to bullshit... big-time, major league bullshit... you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion.
No contest. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
Think about it, religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky... who watches everything you do, every minute of every day.
And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.
And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place... full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time !
...but he loves you

Feels like Stockholm syndrome on steroids...
If we are accountable to God's law of 10 commandments, wouldn't it be loving of God to provide a way to be saved from the price we needed to pay for our crimes? That seems like a pretty amazing gift. Basically Jesus paid our life sentence for us and what do most people do, they mock Him, laugh, say it is "bullshit."
It seems far riskier to live life laughing at God then serving Him. Let's say I am totally wrong. Let's say that I am asking God for forgiveness for breaking one or two of the 10 commandments only to die and realize that I was "wrong." Then what? I won't suffer any different fate than those of you that don't believe.
But what if I am right? What if Hell is a real place and the only way to heaven is through accepting Jesus? The logical choice is to accept Him.
