Is religion really a choice?

Answer 1

Depends. A lot of people are raised to be of a certain faith. These people often don't question what they are taught. In that way, it isn't a real choice because they just believe what their parents/church told them to believe. However, it becomes a choice if the individual thinks about what they believe - accept or reject certain aspects of different religions and make a decision to follow or not.

Answer 2

Yes. Certainly there are a lot of religions to choose from. Within Christianity, there are lots of denomination to choose from. After one picked one, there is still free will to exercise. There are so many choices that it can make ones head spin!
On the other hand, one can simplify and choose to follow whatever ritual that goes with the religion and that is a choice.

Answer 3

Of course it is. As a grown up, you have the choice of worshipping whatever, whomever you please.
Now the reality is that we are reared in a particular religion that the parents practice. Depending on their faith and practices, determines how deeply engrained the belief becomes within our psyche. Many will choose to stay within that belief upon adulthood, usually without question. Then there are those that question their beliefs, or are shown a different side of their belief, and become disillusioned. That's when they make a choice.

Answer 4

Of course it is, People all over the world are choosing their religion according to what suits them, but not necessarily according to, truth, How many People look into the Bible to see what they are being taught is really true? why do we just accept whatever religion that has been handed down to us?While we do have a choice People have blindly accepted what was handed down to them, instead of looking into the Bible to see for themselves to check out the truth about the teachings of their religion!
Yet the Bible although, misrepresented,world wide, holds out the truth and the knowledge it contains can really help us(John17:3)Christianity is not about who is right, but it is about WHAT is Right!
The Bible says: Happy are those conscious of their spiritual Need, we can fill that need with accurate knowledge, and that's where true happiness comes from. Those who who are filling that need with false knowledge, will never get this true happiness, but it is their choice in how they go about filling that spiritual need if it will be the true accurate knowledge in and get true happiness or if they decide to just accept the false knowledge and miss out on the true happiness that is there for any one to take hold of, there in the Word of God that brings true happiness, So what will you choose?Bible truth or the doctrines of men led by satan the devil? there is 2 ways you can go one leads to God and truth the other is lies from Satan the devil that helps satan to be God that he desired in the beginning of mans existance?

Answer 5

Does this question really have to appear every week? Yes, it is a choice - either you accept what your, presumably religious family shoves down your throat and never think about it, or you open your eyes and think "well, if god is so powerful and everywhere and sees everything, why are all these babies dying in pains while a sociopath like Dumbya prospers?"
And then you realize religion is a big fat lie...

Answer 6

Religion is not the answer. Religion simply means to worship someone or something. You can worship anything....a person....a car....jewelry, etc.

Salvation is the key to eternal life. It means that you have asked Jesus to come into your heart. After you do that, you can choose whatever church you would like to worship in.

Answer 7

For me, it's a 'non-choice'.
