Why Your God?
November 22, 2013 at 6:58 pm
This is a very simple question:
Of all the hundreds of religions, why do you have faith in yours? Why not faith in the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, or buddhist writings? What makes YOUR religion more valid?

It basically depends upon where the individual was born and what religious beliefs s/he was indoctrinated into believing from family members.
Also, it helps to hear while being indoctrinated from a young age that all other religions are false and created by Satan to confuse and mislead the true believers.

My god makes no promises, nor any demands.

The reason I believed in jesus is because my family did and everyone around me did. I always kind of though it was stupid but I always reverted back to it must be true because everyone believes.

Too bad this thread ended immediately. I was hoping GC would come in with his shenanigans.

G-C knows exactly the kind of shit he would catch if he did. It's happened before.
Even a jesus freak can has some degree of pattern recognition.
