Our theists of all labels please answer....

I never get a good response from anyone of any label. I really want to see anyone, answer the following without quoting their club or book or holy person. This I am inviting anyone any Muslim or Christian or Buddhist or Hindu, anyone. 

Consider the following and THINK hard before you respond.

The question is not "Why" 

But

"Why do you feel the need to buy your position over any other" And I don't want to hear "My club" I want your answer coming from you, don't regurgitate what your club/writings say.

Every follower of every religion, be it Christianity or Islam or Jewish or Buddhist or Hindu and all the sects of the world's religions, everyone who follows a holy writing or holy person or buys into a sect, has a reason "why". That means nothing.

The real challenge is self introspection which most don't want to face. The real question the follower of any religion should ask themselves isn't "why" but "Why do I feel the need to buy this?" 

If you are simply making an apology, you are not being objective, you are looking for a reason, that is not objective, that is simply looking for an excuse. 

If you ask yourself "Why do I feel the need to buy this" is a much harder question to ask yourself. 

Does the follower think if they leave their position for another club that they will suddenly burst in flames? If not then why do you feel the need to buy your position? If you can see others who hold other positions as also being good and doing good, then again, why do you feel the need to hold your position and not the position of others? I am not aiming that challenge at only Christians, but all followers of all religions, Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists ect ect ect....

Maybe humans need to consider those ideas are merely things they find comfort in. Maybe it is simply something you like and allowed your emotions to draw you in?

I think I answered this before.  You seem to be attempting to make a distinction between the why and force it into a feelings thing.  Cannot I feel a need for, and the why be the same thing?

In the beginning for me, however; it was the history behind Christianity, that convinced me, that it was true.   The Bible is primarily a historical book, which contains theological teachings, rather than a Theology book or instruction manual. Also when comparing to other religious beliefs, it is going to be the historical aspect, that I look to.  Since then, I would also point to scientific or philosophical evidence and arguments, which point to something like God. This doesn't get to specifics, but every argument doesn't need to.

When I was a non-believer, I didn't feel a need to search for God, and I wasn't looking to change my life.  I was fairly content.  It wasn't that I felt a need to do anything.  Also, I'm not a Christian, because it particularly suites me or because that system sounded the best to me.  In that regard, Buddhism actually seems to be fairly appealing, or why not just make up my own for that matter.  We could go new age, and have a subjective god, made in your own image.
With that being said, I do understand some believers talking about the completeness and wholeness, that comes with belief.   It's not entirely intellectual; but, for me, this came after (and I wouldn't have understood it before).

Now, if this doesn't answer your question, then I think that the questions can be applied to your own beliefs as well.  Why should I buy what you are selling?
