You are a Christian only because your parents were Christians. You are a Muslim only because your parents were Muslims.?

The only way primitive religion exists today is through the child abuse of forcing it into very, very young children but thanks to better education and growing intellects so many teens are able to discover the truth, throw off the indoctrination and step into the real world!

Acceptance of a supernatural claim tends to promote cooperative social relationships. This communication demonstrates a willingness to accept, without skepticism, the influence of the speaker in a way similar to a child's acceptance of the influence of a parent. By encouraging this kind of behavior where the most intense social relationships occur it facilitates the lack of skepticism and deters more open minded thinking.

They are christian, Muslim or the other religions depending where they were born simply because they were indoctrinated by their parents as very young children. They will go on to indoctrinate their own children and those will go on to indoctrinate their grandchildren!

Atheists have the intellect to see through the conditioning and escape into the real world!

Agnostics have the intellect to see through the conditioning but lack the courage to throw of the conditioning entirely.

Sadly Christians, Muslims and others are still held firmly prisoner by the self perpetuating brainwashing!

And does that mean that YOU are wrong, because you're parents were wrong to let you be born?

I was NOT raised in a Christian home. I became a Christian in my mid-20's. I was living a self-destructive lifestyle when someone asked if he could pray for me. He prayed, and God intervened.

As I have said so many times, "it's amazing how that once you actually meet someone, you can no longer deny his existence", and this is also true of Jesus/God.

So, I'm guessing that you think because of your LACK of information, or LACK of meeting someone, or LACK of an experience, that convinces you that such information or person or experience cannot exist? You must think the universe is limited by YOUR minuscule knowledge base and experience level! How sad for you!

True. Not only that. Throughout the millenia, many people died during infancy, famine and small pox. There is nothing good about this world. The whole beauty of it is an illusion because it doesn't last. The Gnostics realized this truth as they were being slaughtered by the Roman Catholic Church.

Yes, that is the reason Bin Laden was a Muslim, why the Dalai Lama is Buddhist - and why Hitler was a life-long Christian.
