Are you very religious?

Question

Have you ever wondered that if you had been born in another country you would be in a different religion? How does that make you feel?

Answer 1

Born in the United States and raised a Christian did not stop me from finding the peace of Islam.

I think no matter where I was born I would find the path to Islam

Answer 2

I'm not religious but I am very spiritual, there is a difference. I was born in a different country and brought up in a strict religion which I left when I was 22.I feel now that children are brain washed into religions. I think that is a choice we should make when we are adults and understand the differences offered to us.

Answer 3

No, in fact I don't like religion very much except that I like to study different beliefs. I remember a song that mentioned "a seeker of wisdom and truth". If I were born in another country I would still want to know about the religions of other cultures. I like operating on the spiritual plane rather than the social or mundane. It is something that I enjoy and like to research. There are many other areas of life I would be the one asking the questions. But religion and spirituality are my domain. Except that I prefer spirituality to religion.

Answer 4

No, Its not good to get caught up in religon. - I mean if talking about traditional religon, like church tradition, because the bible says that tradition is the only thing that makes the word of God of non effect. But if your talking religion, as in my religon is christianity, then yes I am. And yes I have considered the fact that if I had been born in a another country I might be in a different religon. And honestly, that makes me feel really thankful. Thankful that I have the privilage of knowing Jesus Christ.

Answer 5

I was born in a different country and am from a different religion. I feel normal. It depends from person to person. If one tries to follow the religion as it was defined say 1000 years ago, person(and people around him/her) will have problem. You have got to apply your filters/logic and see what makes sense today.

Answer 6

No I'm not religious. Probably would be in a different religion people I think usually the same religion as there family and culture I think.

Answer 7

Yes, I would be born into a country of a different religion, but ultimately, it will be me who will decide on which religion to follow, if any.

And yes, in some countries, I may not have much of a choice, but then I would have been brought up differently, with different values...

Answer 8

I'm not religious at all, and never have been. It's certainly possible that in a different environment I might have turned out religious, but I like to think that I'd have had more sense.

Answer 9

i once asked a graduate student instructor in a buddhist studies class i was taking if he considered himself to be a "practicing buddhist." his answer was that he was practicing buddhism not in the way that people normally identify themselves as members of practitioners of a certain religion, but in the way that people practice the piano or the accordian. his answer has changed the way i think about religion, spirituality, and the construction or deconstruction of our identities and others' relative to these things. does this help at all?

Answer 10

Nope... Im very spiritual!
Actually I was born in the UK and follow the Peruvian Inca Shamanic tradition!

All beliers that follow the 'Divine way' are correct. God provided a route to Him/Her through every culture, they all lead back to the same place - so it doesnt really matter where we are born.

God/Allah/Jah/Whakantanka, etc ... bless you! ;)
