Question for Christians

If you had been born in Pakistan to Muslim parents, would you hold the Muslim faith with the same conviction that you hold the Christian faith?
blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:26-29

Thinking

Had a similar thought Zen. Not because it is a bad question but more likely that most xtians are incapable of thinking in hypothesis
