Simple question. In your mind, what crucial facts or experiences are other people missing that would help them see things your way? Why don't more people subscribe to your beliefs? What is it they don't get?

Please don't give an answer like the following:

Quote
There isn't anything they "don't get." Belief is personal and everyone is entitled to their own unique viewpoints; there's no way to be objective in matters of faith. What's true from my perspective may not be true from yours. I just hope you someday come around to accepting Jesus (or whatever) Smiley Purple heart

Instead, please model your answer on this response:

Quote
They are simpletons who were completely indoctrinated by their belief system since birth, and they haven't taken a single solitary second to question their own views in their entire lives. They're uneducated and stupid and they're not capable of introspection (like I am). They can pee their pants.

Because the details of Christianity can't be arrived at through natural reason alone and naturally some/many people will find the arguments-from-faith for them unconvincing.

I think a part of this has to do with (some) Christians' tired insistence that religious beliefs can be arrived at through objective and/or scientific inquiry. I recall a conversation I had once with a user on this site, who essentially tried to convince me that a handful of quasi-scientific studies on "faith healing" proved that God exists. Whenever religion tries to play on science's terms, it will lose.
