What I fail to see is how christian people can be so sure that christianity is the right religion of all others available. To me they're all more or less naive and have no credit, but answer me this:
Isn't it strange how you all have "found [the christian] god" to be true, when there are SO many other options out there. Isn't it pretty obvious that you believe in the same god as your parents do?
How come a human being needs to be told what god to believe in, if any?
Play along with me, christian believer;
Let's say you were born in a muslim city somewhere, with their respective religion surrounding you since you were born. Don't you think you'd believe in what your parents tell you to?

With that said, how can you be so sure that your god is the right one? A simple answer will do.


As for myself;
My mother's more or less christian, and believes in god. She prays and all that jazz. My dad's a scientist, and does not believe in any god. They both told me what they believed to me when I was a kid. They never "pushed" any beliefs on me. It didn't take long for me to figure out that the christian faith is nothing more than fairytales (like any other man-made religion). I also came to the conclusion that we do not get all answers from science. So, I became agnostic in my views.
So anyway, why wouldn't your beliefs be in every way linked to what was told to you, even pushed on you? Religious people are so happy to tell everyone that "GOD LIVES" and that stuff....but did you come to that conclusion or do you believe just because of your enviroment and the way your parents raised you?
