Christian answering questions too!

[abaris]

For most of us it's either early brainwashing or habit.  What I can't figure is why anyone who was not raised xtian would ever embrace xtianity.

First, it very much depends on the kind of christianity. There are very benign and inclusive forms and there are vile, hateful and exclusive versions. As I always say, for many it may be the feeling of security, to belong and to be taken by the hand. For others fear might be a reason or their own prejudices, seemingly justified by a higher authority.

We have a little bit of everything on this board, with the hateful version being the most prominent or most outspoken. That's also the reason why I asked OP for his believes, since I like to know what I'm dealing with before engaging in any discussion.
