It isn't all obvious---one needs to be taught by the real teachers of Jesus' to find truth.

I would say that only those who lack common sense would turn to the bible for "truth".

Well... yes, you can say that.
But keep in mind that it's only a temporary arrangement of things.
Until things will be sorted out and "chaff separated from wheat."

Not only Jesus, few listen to the Buddha, Allah or any of these deities...List of Deities

So don't feel so bad about it...take a look around the world...and what do you see?

You have good people doing good things, regardless of their religious affiliation, bad people doing bad things, regardless of their religious affiliation, evil people doing evil things, regardless of their religious affiliation. And then you have the very odd twist of very bad people doing horrible evil sick things in the name of religion.

The sooner folks like you awaken to this obvious truth the sooner we can eradicate the "my religious views vs. your religious views.

One German woman, who was school girl in Hitler's Germany, said they had a Hitler bible taught to them.

Any comments about these pictures:

Nazi photos showing Christian influence

Yes, until the soon coming ' time of separation ' at the 'harvest time' separating the genuine 'wheat' from the fake 'weed/tares' Christians at Jesus' glory time of Matthew 25:31-33,37 when Jesus, as Shepherd, separates the figurative humble ' sheep ' from the haughty ' goats '.

Not to feel bad (about few listen) because Jesus taught his followers would be hated at Matthew 10:22.
Jesus forewarned that MANY would prove false at Matthew 7:21-23
A selfish and distorted form of selfish love would mark these last days of badness on Earth - 2nd Timothy 3
Which is in sharp contrast with the definition of godly love as defined at 1st Corinthians 13:4-6
and in sharp contrast to Jesus' NEW commandment to have self-sacrificing love for others - John 13:34-35

Scripture teaches we (people) can Not eradicate, but the words from Jesus' mouth will do that:
see -> Isaiah 11:3-4; Proverbs 2:21-22; Revelation 19:14-16

What was Jesus' lack of common sense since he turned to Scripture for religious truth - John 17:17
Jesus often prefaced his statements with the words, " It is written...." meaning already recorded or written down in the old Hebrew Scriptures explaining and expounding upon them for us.
