All I can tell you is that I was not risen by a Christan family, nor did I grown in a Christian environment. Before becoming a Christian, I studied for YEARS Islam and Buddhism.
It was not a matter of Christianity making more sense to me, but the overwhelming signals God sent my way.
Nonetheless, here are some pearls of wisdom I have found in the Bible that make a whole lot of sense to me

However, I very much respect your right to being an atheist or whatever you believe in and I dislike Christians who beat others with their Bible.

It isn't, it's not logical at all... indeed it's wholly illogical and contrary to history and observable reality. Really, many of the oft-disparaged pagan beliefs are significantly more logical, and eastern mysticism is similarly more reasonable and true to life.
The only reason christians see it as more logical is due to the lies told to them by their pastors or apologist websites.
>> "and you are wrong about people only becoming chritian b/c of how the are raised and theri environment.
They become christian b/c they know the truth when the read it, see it , and hear it."
Not quite... There is no question that if you had been born in the Middle East you'd be worshiping Allah, if you'd been born in an African tribe you'd believe in Jojo of the Mountain, if you'd been born or raised in an old Nordic village you'd believe in Wotan and Thor. The fact that you believe what you believe is entirely due to your upbringing and what you were taught (at a young age) was right.

Christians does seek logic, it's a life of faith. Christianity is not at all logical. i can't prove anything about it. i can't prove there is a God, or a Heaven. But i know in my heart there is. I was raised to be a Christian, but i didn't always believe. I do know, and it's a better life. call it mind control or being narrow minded. perhaps i am. but i dont judge the views of others nor do i try to push my beliefs on others. So if Christianity does not make sense to you thats fine dont be a Christian.

I notice that the questioner identified himself as a "black athiest". Why make this question and forum a "racist" setting? I find that the children of GOD are called out of every kindred, tribe and nation. Away with your racist mentality!
Next, growing up to be a "Christian" does not assure a person becoming a "Christian".
Next, Christianity is not a "logical" religion in comparison to other gods and religions. There is the natural and there is the Spiritual. A natural person can not "choose" to be a "Christian": the Spirit of Christ is first implanted (superadded) to the indiviudal of His choosing and His choosing is not based on the natural merits of the individual. There is only one "true" GOD! There is no other "true" religion! and the "true" religion was set up from before the foundation of the world by HIS Son, Jesus the Christ.
Next, there is nothing anyone can do for those who profess to be atheist, as far as "winning them to Christ", or make them a "Christian".
Next, there is nothing anyone can do for anyone to "win them to Christ", or make them a "Christian".
Next, GOD, through His Son, by the calling of the Holy Ghost, calls out His chosen ones from the world and brings them into the light (knowledge) of His Son. That is, He calls His children out of nature's darkness without the individual or anyone else on their behalf thinking, saying or doing anything. (Ephesians Chapter 2). This calling out of nature's darkness by the Holy Ghost brings a Spiritually dead person to Spiritual life, and after that the person is able to think, say and do things in a Spiritual sense.

"The only difference is you were raised to be a Christian and or grew up in a Christian environment."
I was, but that does not explain the millions of Christians, such as Ravi Zacharias, that were not.
As for your first question, because I find a coherence and consistency on the answers to the questions of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny that are not present in the others.

there are various motives why human beings might reject the assumption of a god or gods. some human beings have many motives that each and every person help an agnostic place. on an identical time as plenty greater arguments would be made against faith than would be made against God, all of us be conscious of approximately God from the religions and is born out via your above hypothesis. the quick answer for me is basically that I have not have been given any good reason to have confidence.

Christianity is not a religion, it's about developing a spiritual relationship with a creator God.
True Christians don't reject other religions for the sake of rejecting them, it's just that through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and Almighty God, they see the truth of who God is, as the creator of all things.

That's not true it's all about believing in Jesus and believing that he did die on the cross for us.Even if someone was raised as a christian there are many people who go against their parents religion and that's their decision. Just because you were raised a certain way does not mean that it's going to carve your future. Many rebel

no true at all.
most "Christians" have it all wrong. they don't take the time to actually study their bibles if they even own one. many also go to the church that fits their personal views rather than accept what God has commanded in the bible.
however there are a few true Christians that know what the bible has to say and why it should be followed even in today's world. just as the bible says. "broad and spacious is the road leading to destruction,....... narrow is the road leading to life"
most are on the wrong road and don't even know it. they have blind faith in the teaching of their church without ever examining the Scriptures them selves to see if what they are taught is even true.

and you are wrong about people only becoming chritian b/c of how the are raised and theri environment.
