Do you today, believe in the same religion as the one you where born in?

Question

that is, the same religion as your family, or one or both of your parents?

Answer 1

basically the same although I've added a few other ideas of my own which " customized " their Religious Belief System to conform better to my own personal idiosyncrasies.

Answer 2

only these who are Jewish or Muslim are born into it the rest seem to have parents or family that are and they then make up their minds later on when they are fully informed and understand.But in saying this you can only go with at the time what you believe is so. And I believed that I was a Christian so I was one. It was later on that i found out that I came fro a long line of Jewish people. Nothing new Christians already think in this way but some are closer than others if you get my drift. But also all are grafted in with precession so to speak.

So as to my circumstances you will have to make up your own mind. If I was born into or not.

Answer 3

I was born to a family of Lutheran father and Orthodox mother. My parents were not religious people.

I do not even like the word religion. I believe that Jesus came down here to free us from religions. He wanted to teach us to have a personal relationship with God. Religion does not save you, Jesus does.

I walked away from my Christian faith, not really denying my God...more like not thinking Him and questioning Him. He put the longing of the God's word in my heart. He came after me when I was walking to the wrong direction. He knocked and knocked on my heart's door. And when I let Him in my heart I got baptized as an adult.

Something Lutherans do not do, is to get baptized as an adult if youhave been baptized as a baby and you have had your confirmation. I have been attending my non-denominational Christians church for around six years now. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.

Answer 4

Yes, and no. I went to another religion five years ago and found the people to believe similar, yet made it fit how, when and where they saw fit. I found it most disturbing. It confused me beyond my wildest dream. All of a sudden, what I was taught growing up wasn't the truth. I found much fight within myself about it. I didn't enjoy going to the church once I came under attack about my background. I came away each week feeling as thought I was misunderstood, ignoble, ignorant, and a feeling of misled during my childhood. I went back, not to the religion I was raised with, but one with the sacraments included, and I feel much better now, not complete, but better.

Answer 5

I don't belong to the same religion as my parents, nor the religion in which I was raised.

I looked at what was being done and how it was being done, and even as a child, I said to myself that this is not right.

When I met the woman who became my wife, I began to go with her to church, and said to myself, "These people do everything by the Bible. They don't add to it or take away from it." Eventually, I not only changed religions, but now I preach.

Answer 6

No, both parents and family Jewish. For me there were too many unanswered questions and as a female religious knowledge and teachings were not available to me in this religion.
I chose Scientology after looking into different religions. I was 19 when I made this choice. Over 35 years ago now.

Answer 7

i was brought up to believe and practise the religion of my parents
but i do believe that in all religion there's good and bad
the incorrectness and truths of it

so now i'm practising the corrected version of their religion based on thorough research and study though of course most parents would object as it defies the old traditional ways practised by the society in general

i'm not trying to be different but it seems most are in denial of the truth and that i simply can't accept it

for example
we have believers trying to emulate jesus or muhamad whereas i knew that from both scriptures we are not supposed to do that cos we simply can't and can never will

they follow by the book words for words whereas i knew that most scriptures are allegories to the real life facts

so now i'm in my own from their religion

Answer 8

Nope. I was brought up as a Jehovah's witness.
From a very early age, I could see gaps in the logic of their theology that you could drive a tank through. I also became appalled by the intolerance and women-hating that went on.
As I gained an education, I quickly saw how stupid all the assumptions of the faith were, and dissociated myself from it when I hit my late teens. It wasn't easy, as it threatened to cause a major rift with my family, but my sense of justice and morality would not allow me to remain tainted by such a nasty organization.
One thing I can say, though, is that being forced to go through the 'Theocratic Ministry School' left me with an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the bible, which serves me well as an Atheist, I can shove scripture back at any bible-thumper!

Answer 9

Mom and dad took us some when we was kids to a methodist. Not sure how long we went there. I have went back to that church years later to be there for my mom on Mother's Day, and I am so glad I do not go to that church. There pastor doesnt preach, he just tell stories. Women are allowed to preach and be pastor's. The church is dead. No one gets saved there. But I didnt get saved till March 4,1999 and we found a church that was alive and following God's word.

Answer 10

Mother was catholic, father was protestant. I was baptized catholic without ever practicing catacism. As a child I attended different churches...after much thought and prayer, I have decided that being spiritual is much more important than what "religion" I should follow...I choose to follow God instead of man.

Answer 11

Yes and no. Born an christian but I've come to follow God more than Jesus because he is intolerant where Jesus forgives people that do wrong. I believe in intelligence and suffering for ones sins.
