Yes, obviously the correct choice is to believe the religion you were brought up in.

Quote:think about reading and comparing between different religions and scriptures

Why should anyone "compare between different religions"? I think "examine" or "study" would be a better word here. Saying "compare" makes it sound like you're deciding which one to buy. In other words, you've already made up your mind that a deity exists, and now you're just deciding which religion best matches your deity. To me, this is like "comparing" poisons and then deciding which one to drink.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
