Why do people follow the bible and take it seriously?

One thing I've always wondered is why people who say they believe in god are still scared of death and grieve for their loved ones just like everyone else. If you truly believe without a doubt that when you die you are going to a better place, you should be welcoming death because you will live in eternal happiness. And you should be happy for your deceased loved ones that they are finally out of this world that has caused many people so much suffering. But these same people cry like its the end of the world when a loved one dies, and they act like they are scared to die. This is why I think a lot of so-called religious people aren't as faithful as they claim to be, or in the very least have some serious doubts.

That could be said about a million thangs. Of course, you gonna be sad when you lose a loved one. If you was married to a man for 60 years and he dies, of course you gon be upset. You was wit the man for 60+...now you gotta live without him. Regardless of knowing he's at peace in the greatest place religious people glorify.
There's 2 sides to everythang. Come on now homie. For real.

First off I'm not gay...
Second, if I had been married 60 years to a woman and then I found out we had to separate for a while, she was going to paradise and I would be able to spend eternity with her there in 5-10 years, yes it would be somewhat sad but I would not be acting like my life was over. I would be looking forward to that shit, not crying and reminiscing about the past.

Kids believe in Santa Claus because they are afraid they wont get the presents the want at Christmas...until some adult explains to them that Santa is not real. He is make believe. Imagine if there were no rational adults to explain that to young children. They'd become adults that believed in such a ridiculous idea of a fat man from the North Pole watching over everyone to see who's naughty and nice, and swoops down in one night to bring presents to EVERYone lol. Seems so silly for adults to believe such an obviously made up character huh? Not like God and that Jesus character. Their existence makes so much more sense... :-\

So if an adult never told you Santa wasn't real you'd still believe in Santa?
I guess you're as stupid as your post is then. Most kids I grew up with just figured out Santa wasn't real. We didn't need a sit down explanation. Kids simply outgrow certain things. Scoffing at the idea of God when many of the world's most reasonable and intelligent people belive in God is simply ignorant on your part. Santa was made up as a story and admitted as such. By all historical accounts the early Christians believed in Jesus and died for real to promote them. It was never implied anywhere in history that Jesus was allegory to them and they didn't really believe. No one died defending Kris Kringle.

No, I wouldnt still believe in Santa. Which is why I am able to understand that religion is completely bullshit as well. Adults fear death just as children do. They dont fear getting coal in their stockings the same way children do. People become completely stupid and tend to believe in anything that will comfort them when they are in fear. More intelligent people understand this, which is why the more intelligent people invented this scam in the first place. Does it matter if people who you consider "intelligent" believe in God? No. Does it make God any more real? lol Definetely not. There are intelligent people who think a rabbits foot brings them good luck. Does that mean its logical to believe rabbits feet are lucky? The "idea" of God has not, and never will be proven because it is fake. If you need to cling to a higher being like a baby does a security blanket to make you feel better about the fact that when you die...it will be OVER. Then go ahead. Thats your choice. Just don't get upset when logical people look at you and laugh.
