Imagine god (if you will):
Wouldn't it seem rather rude of him to make salvation based upon nothing more than where and to whom you are born? Isn't this how mist of you religious folk obtain your belief in god - through your birth right?

It would be most unjust to damn souls eternally because they can't see something they were never taught, or don't understand, or can't see. It would be foolish. Since God cannot be foolish I can only assume the bible is wrong about that, as well as the scriptures of any religion who claim to be the only path to God. God must be far better than any of these religions imagine in order to qualify as God.

There may be some belief system out there that believes you can be born into the correct religion. I don't know what it is. You can argue that all require a choice.
Even arguing that a child is born an agnostic / atheist is only done because the child is ignorant to theism, so he/she has not been able to make an informed decision (I accept corrections if I am off base) on what religion to adhere to, or if the best choice is non-belief.
If God is the Creator, the All In All, He can be as rude as he wants - but me thinks he prefers civility.

Think about Jesus ? At what age did he get baptized? When he was able to make decisions.
We're not born with a faith but we gain it through time studying God's word.
"And this is what I continue praying, that YOUR love may abound yet more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment." - Philippians 1:9
Most of people nowadays aren't born in the right religion. That's why Jesus said that his true disciples will share the good news so that people from all around the world could be saved.
"Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit." - Matthew 28:19
"And this GOOD NEWS of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." - Matthew 24:3-14

Nobody is born into a religion. I've yet to see a baby grow up with a full set of beliefs of any particular religion. But a child can be raised up in a religious environment. However, being raised in such an environment does not mean that the person would stick to it for life, unless your religion forbids you to do that. Otherwise experience tells us that people do convert to other religions regardless of their religious upbringing.

answer: sorry, i won't be able that might actually assist you. I do locate Judaism is the spectacular faith, it extremely is why i'm changing. Jews understand that Judaism is stable for them, no longer all and sundry else. you will no longer locate Jews attempting to transform all and sundry else using fact all and sundry will attain G-d, there is not any hell. you do no longer might desire to be Jewish to prevail in G-d. What turns some people off is the requirement to stick to the 613 commandments from G-d (3 hundred+ now with out the temple). What attracts many is the commandment to repair the international, worship G-d and G-d on my own (no trinities, no divine saviors), the learn of Torah and faith until you die and to do charity.

Nobody was born in correct religion . You choose the religion for yourself when you are grown up and ready to think . So, it's not worth it to just follow your surrounding religions whether common, family or most people take. It is not easy really to change your belief or religions when you finally find the truth in your life. A truth always beyond the appearance or appearance itself. So, try your best in your quest of life . I'm not a christians. PEACE !

You are not born into a religion, you chose a religion when you are capable of rational thought. Even when you are a very young child and your parents (or whoever) take you to whatever place of worship, you are not religious. You don't understand what's going on. You have to know what's going on before you are religious, whether it be "wrong" or "right" is based on what other people think is wrong or right. Whatever religion you chose is right for you, but maybe not for someone else.

One of the gratest Yogi of India, Pramahamsa Yoganandha spoke a lot on Biblical quotes although he was not born in that environment. God is seen beyond religion.

It is possible that people are born into the correct religion. In fact most people are born into their correct religion. We learn by watching our parents. Comfort is a priority.
But true enlightenment and peace come from within and manifest through SPIRITUALITY. Rather than religion.
My God will reward my SPIRITUALITY and my DEEDS and my HEART.

Yes, is is possible for some, however it was not like that for me. I was born into the catholic religion and I renounced it and became a born again Christian.
The only "correct" religion is one that teaches salvation through Jesus Christ and the only true word of God out of the Holy Bible (KJV) 1611. Religions with all the "extras" that are not in the Bible are false religions.
