All religions are crazy

Here is what Christians believe:
Christians believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and the Messiah (Christ) prophesied in the Hebrew Bible (the part of scripture common to Christianity and Judaism). To Christians, Jesus Christ is the revealer of God, as well as an incarnation of God, and most importantly the savior of humanity who suffered, died, and was resurrected to bring about salvation from sin. Christians maintain that Jesus ascended into heaven, and most denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead, granting everlasting life to his followers...CRAZY!



Here is what Scientologists believe:
Scientology advocates that people are immortal spiritual beings (or thetans) which have lived many lifetimes. Scientologists believe that the primary purpose of existence is survival. One controversial aspect of Scientology beliefs is the idea that thetans lived among extraterrestrial cultures before becoming trapped in bodies on Earth. It is believed that thetans were brainwashed by these extraterrestrial cultures as a means of population control...CRAZY!



Here is what Jewish people believe:
Throughout the ages, Judaism has adhered to a number of religious principles, the most important of which is the belief in a single, omniscient, omnipotent, benevolent, transcendent God, who created the universe and continues to govern it. According to Jewish tradition, the God who created the world established a covenant with the Israelites and their descendants, and revealed his laws and commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai in the form of both the Written and Oral Torah...CRAZY!



Here is what Muslims believe:
Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, God's final prophet, through the angel Gabriel, and regard the Qur'an and the Sunnah (words and deeds of Muhammad) as the fundamental sources of Islam. They do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Islamic tradition holds that Jews and Christians distorted the revelations God gave to these prophets by either altering the text, introducing a false interpretation, or both...CRAZY!



Here is what Mormons believe:
The foundation of Mormonism is that Joseph Smith, Jr. was visited by angels, the Judeo-Christian God, and Jesus. These divine beings instructed him that all faiths were corrupt and that with the help of a book (The Book of Mormon) engraved on golden plates written by ancient Native Americans and buried in a nearby hill, he could restore the true religion as founded by Jesus Christ himself, with all rites, rituals, and doctrines as they were in primitive Christianity. A document laying out the core beliefs of Mormonism, the Articles of Faith were composed by Smith as part of an 1842 letter sent to John Wentworth, editor of the Chicago Democrat. Most Latter Day Saint denominations view the articles as an authoritative statement of basic theology...CRAZY!





All of the above ideas are completely ridiculous...how can anyone believe this crap?
