The amazing part is that people fall for it to this very day. The fear of what happens when you die is so strong that it negates otherwise intelligent people's rationality.

Well, let's not also forget the fear of being burnt at the stake or tortured to death played a pretty big role in its spread.. Christians of the past were just as good at killing people in the name of their holy book as modern day Islamist extremist..
You do that for a few hundred years and it's a great way of building a sheep herd of followers.. They weeded out the non believers and any sort of compitition early on.. It's taken 100s of years to break that cycle of willful ignorance and still even today people willingly follow this non sense..
