Religion: WHICH ONE IS TRUE?
I have observed that people of
different religions are convinced that theirs
is the one true religion. Christians believe
Christianity is the true way, Hindus believe
Hinduism is the way, Muslims believe Islam is
the way, etc etc.
How is it that one "gets" a religion?
Excluding converting, isn't the fact that one
is BORN into a family of a particular religion
determine that persons religion? So if you
are born into a Christian family, you are
Christian and if you are born into a Muslim
family then you are Muslim. You will grow up
being taught and perhaps believing that
Christianity is the one True way to God and
all others aren't really the true way. But then,
what if you would have been born, lets say,
a Muslim. So then, you would be following
the "not really true way". But you wouldn't
think of it that way because you would be
Muslim, which you would be convinced is
the true way.
My point is, religion is arbitrary. You were
born into it. You could just as easily been
born someone else. Then you would belong
to a religion that you in your present life are
told is not right. Think about that.
