bimmer - lol you don't believe me? fine that's your perogative, but I know the truth and that truth is I have seen plenty of Muslim converts to Christianity. Why do you think there are some many active Christian missionaries in Muslim countries, it's certianly not because they are not successful.
Why do I believe in Christianity? If you had read what I said you would realize that I don't believe in Christianity, I am an agnostic (not a gnostic). No I wasn't born in to Christianity, good assumption but incorrect nonetheless. In case you don't realize what an agnostic is, it's simply a person that doesn't believe you can prove or disprove the presence of a higher power. I don't know if there is a god out there, but the way these various "religions" bicker on about it and kill others in the name of their "God" I certianly hope there isn't. That's just my opinion though... and I have shared this with some of the Muslims that I know... of course they call me an infidel (all in good nature) and try to convert me.
Who is to say what religion is right? Don't you all believe in the same God anyway, just different interpretations of it?
Oh and I think you are entirely correct in saying that if you are born in to a religious thought process that it's difficult to break out of it or think outside of it. I guess you can say I'm the same way since I wasn't born in to any religion per se. I have read up and studied the various world religions and have formed my own opinion about them. I don't subscribe to any one belief system but like I said they all have some very worthy tenents in them that people should follow even if they aren't religious in nature. i.e. Be kind to your neighbor, don't kill others, etc.
