Haha... spelling errors. We'll pretend i did that on purpose to be witty.

"Jesus would be worth believing in even if he never exited."
I'm assuming you meant "existed" (to rudely draw attention to a typo as well), but either one actually makes sense. And I agree... with most religions, even if the stories are only myths, the symbolism in them is worth believing in.

A few years ago I had to give a speech in church on why I believed how I did. In trying to explain my belief in God, the only concrete reason I could find was "I believe because I want to. Whether I'm right or not, the belief gives me comfort, and that's reason enough."
