Quote by: Isherwood  Those of us who chose to become Christian may leave it behind in our continuing quest to understand the "spiritual" side of our nature. It was that quest that led us to religion in the first place, and when religion didn't supply sufficient answers, we moved on.
People who are raised with a certain mindset and never feel encouraged to or have any reason to question it are often not very zealous in their beliefs. |
Can you explain that? How does someone choose to become christian then leave it behind in the search of spiritual answers? Do you mean someone who becomes a christian later in life the becomes and atheist after that?

Morality Games explained it.
You never really chose to be a Christian
and you've adopted a different set of logical rules that
you only use for Christianity.

That doesn't explain those who become christian later in life. A number of adults were confirmed at the same time as my confirmation. They were mostly asian and I'd guess not of US birth. In fact they seem to just the opposite of your position, being raised in an eastern culture where western religion is not prevalent, yet they still find christianity something they desire to accept.
Secondly, if your going to say christians use a different set of rules then your admitting you yourself are just using your own version of rules for everything.
Otherwise this thread is going off topic... I was looking for people to admit why they feel the fact religion needs to be taught is a failing.
