Thank you for the tip, I shall attempt to edit it promptly!
It appears I cannot find the edit function, so I beseech everyone to excuse my ignorance. In my defense I have been working since last Thursday without a break and am about to fall asleep in my Cheerios.
I will endeavor to do better in the future, don't give up on me forum!
I believe once someone quotes you, you can't edit a post.
Some observations on your reply to Pocaras, first I am not aware of god's existence, primarily due to a lack of evidence.
Second, the heart has nothing to do with feelings, it is a sophistcated pump nothing more.
Third, have you really examined other religions, or have you simply looked at them through the prism of your christan prejudices (don't worry, we all have our prejudices)?
Fourth, even in context, the bible is massively contradictory. It has two creation stories which contradict in massive ways.
And finally, on your belief that you'd have converted christian even in places like Indonesia, you are aware that most muslim countries proacribe the death penalty for apostasy from islam, right? The simple fact of the matter is that religious beliefs are a constituent part of the memeplex that makes up the culture you were brought up in, and you're (generic you) are very likely to spend significant time believing the dominant religion of thatculture, and if you change religion, it is most likely going to be a change to a one similar to the first, or the dominant religion of a culture which has come to dominate your own (either peacefully or forcefully).
