Why do people still believe in religion in 2013?

This is more directed towards Christianity but I hope you get the meaning. You won't believe in evolution but you would believe that some dude in the sky created everything on Earth because obviously it makes so much sense and has so much more evidence. Some guy 2000 years ago claimed to be your savior and claims that he will be back, yet in 2000 years of human history we have not seen even a trace of him (of course, not before countless killings have been committed in his name), yet you still continue to believe. You would believe in a number of fairy tales including a man on a giant ship with a bunch of animals floating on the sea during a giant flood, but an asteroid hitting the Earth and killing the dinosaurs is just impossible. And worst of all, their main excuse is, "Why can't you just let other people be and let them believe what they want?" Yet they are the ones going around spouting their nonsense in people's faces, they are the ones who oppose homosexuals getting married, they are the ones who want to force their unreasonable beliefs into the public education system (intelligent design, prayers at school, etc.). What hypocrites.

It's nice reading all those prophecies written about Him coming true. 2. He never said when He would come back, therefore we still have to wait. 3. I don't think he would exactly condone the killing of other people, even if in His name, because He preached to love people, even if you hate their opinions.

I don't see how it has been proved wrong. 2. Our Book doesn't tell us how old the Earth is, or how much time passed between each of those first seven "days", so there is the chance the dinosaurs were destroyed before man was created.

We can love and respect you and everyone else, even if we don't agree with your/their opinions and beliefs.
