    I think because it asks us the most basic question, where did we come from? Is there more to life than just living and dyeing? and questions the big question, do we believe in God, or was there some "other force" that evolved into what we have today? If we say yes, There is a Jesus, then we then travel down a path that leads to God, Heaven, The Bible being a trust and actuate account of the world, and creation. If we say no, I don't believe in Jesus, then we have to question where did we come from? how did life on this planet start?, why are we here? There are many religions in the world, and many more people that believe that what we are today this is not a random course of events that just happened to work out as it did, but some greater or higher meaning to life. If Jesus is the person who is at the forefront of this, I could well understand why many would consider Him to be a controversial person. I also think we (humans) have a tough time believing in something we can't see and can't write down in point form. Belief is the key. Can you believe in something that you can not physically hold in your hands, pull apart and dissect peice by peice?

    • In reply to Flynn444's comment about Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple."

      In the Scriptures, the word “hate” has several shades of meaning. In some contexts, it simply means to love to a lesser degree. (Deuteronomy 21:15, 16) This is obviously what Luke was saying...His followers must have greater love for Jesus than anyone else...

      “Hate” may also signify a strong dislike but without any intent of bringing harm to the object, seeking instead to avoid it because of a feeling of loathing toward it. However, the word “hate” may also denote intense hostility, sustained ill will often accompanied by malice.
