Amazing Odds
It really is amazing that Christians have stumbled across the One True Faith, when there have been so many similar attempts. I mean, we have ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians who all made up very similar tales to the Christians, but who were obviously wrong. Then we have the Jews and Muslims who haven't even figured out they're wrong yet. Then we have so many nutty Eastern philosiphies like Buddhism and Hinduism that are just laughable.
It's so great that the Christians just happened to have the one religious text that was right, when all of the others were just stories. I mean, what the hell are the odds of that? Jesus Christ, that's amazing. I wonder what God thought about people during all of those centuries before we invented religion, and then all of those centuries where we had it all wrong. He must have been so pissed.
Thank God nobody stops to think of how improbable it is that Christianity could be right, and every other religion that has ever existed, or will ever exist, is wrong. If they did, and started thinking "rationally", Christianity would go the way of Greek Mythology, and the world would forever lose the one religion that had all the answers. That, I'm sure, would irrate God to an end so infinite only He could contemplate his irritation.
What's even more amazing is that the vast majority of Christians are born into their faith. They don't even have to pour over the Koran, the Torah, the teachings of Buddha, or any other religious text to decide which is right. They're simply born into a family who already believes the right thing. Amazing. I guess this is why all of the hispanic people of the world really owe a debt of gratitude to Spanish Conquistadors who slaughtered their ancestors in the name of spreading Christianity. Without this bloodshed (I think the phrase "crimson baptism" casts it in the positive light it deserves), the hispanic people of the world might continue to believe the mythologies of the Maya, Inca, Aztec or whatever ignorant people, and thus be doomed to eternal damnation.
