  Religion answers the questions that we have no answers for. So it's comforting for most humans to have answers to these kinds of questions. That's one reason why they believe the bible. "on est tous des sauvages"

  No, but they are all ignorant. That's the whole point. You can come to your own conclusions about your own religious beliefs, but if you blindly accept what someone tells you, you are acting in ignorance. Again, you're choosing to use the word savage.

    You seem to have this idea that people pick up the Bible, read "Jesus walked on water", and go "Wow, praise God!" In actuality, what matters isn't the claims the Bible makes, but the actual words that Jesus and the prophets speak. These words are packed with timeless superhuman wisdom, sort of like ancient Greek philosophers except on steroids. A sincere Christian wrestles with God and with the scriptures. "The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since he has no root, he remains for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away." (Matthew 13:20-21)

      I didn't say that all religious people were like that. I said religious people that just listen to what a religious figure says and believes it are. Which is what we were discussing happened with the Aztecs. If a christian does it it's also ignorant. What you describe isn't ignorance. Stop trying to make me seem unreasonable by distorting my arguments.
