If you were born in India, what are the chances that you would believe in the Krshna myth instead? If you were born in ancient Greece or Rome, what are the chances you would of believed in the Hercules myth? If you were born in Iraq, would you of believed in the Quran myth? Isis and her virgin born son Horus for ancient Egypt? If you were born in Asia Minor in the 1st century, chances are high you would of believed in Dionysus who was born on December 25th, died and rose from the death three days later.

I'll take a wack at this! True, religion is often based upon where you live, AT FIRST. But once one is exposed to other religions, you'll most likely "try out" a few. Funny how none are really fulfilling, and most make you pay a consequence, even if you ask for forgiveness. Except for Christianity, of course. Also funny how no other religion believes that their "teacher" or "prophet" is still alive. That's because those teachers were only human. But Jesus Christ is the son of God, and though he died for our sins, he rose again, and is alive today. And that's something to live for. What are you living for?

Great point. People try to say that they chose their faith but in reality it was just chosen for them at birth. People never want to admit that.
