It's just by sheer luck that you were born where you were, otherwise you'd be swearing black and blue that Allah is God. Or Vishnu?
But be grateful that you hit the jackpot and are worshipping the correct ONE TRUE GOD™! because the other 4 billion pilgrims devote their lives to false Gods. And die for him. And kill others for him.
How lucky are you!
Sorry matey, your indoctrination has tied your logic circuits in a knot. True story™.
I have thought about that. My God has certain values that I believe are correct to follow. I don't know what else to say.
Strange that most christians come from christian familes, most muslims come from muslim families, most ... etc...etc...
Very few seem to look at all the worlds religions and all their gods before deciding which one is "true"

Indoctrinated against their will, but most adults seem to be okay with doing it to their own kids. So much non-thinking needed.

“Man is the religious animal. He is the only religious animal. He is the only animal that has the true religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.” (Mark Twain)
"The world is my country; all of humanity are my brethren; and to do good deeds is my religion." (Thomas Paine)

That theists think is debatable.

But you do realize that someone raised in Israel or India or Mali or Yemen could make the same observation, right? Part of the reason you believe those certain values are correct to follow is that they are the values you were raised with (not to mention the values of your God are actually rather horrifying if you go by what it says about him in the Bible rather than what your Sunday School teacher taught you, he says, speaking from experience).
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
