Let's say I've been raised by apes. For the first time, when I'm about 20, I meet another human being, and she takes me to a city to teach me about humanity.
One day I learn about religion. I've never even heard of God or Buddha or church or the Torah. So I go to Yahoo Answers, and ask, "Which religion is right?" How would you convince me of your point of view?

I convince you of nothing more than doing some research yourself and finding that which works for you to teach you wisdom, altruism, etc.

I would say you were raised by apes.. and you survived... You found your way into human society and learned... You are human and you seem to still understand that... religion is the deception of humanity and your survival never depended on that human crutch so why enslave your life by practicing something you never needed... Life has a way of giving us what we need... for you say you were raised by apes and you are still here... so ignore the religious debate and continue living your life as you chose.. and don't allow the crazy humans to convince you that life requires religion...

well if you were raised by apes you can't read or wright to ask the question,you most likely can't speak English or any other language we know to ask a question and how would you know about yahoo answers if you wasn't even raised around computers you wouldn't know how to use one would you ?
i would let you check them all out for your self and you can decide which one you like best and then you can go with that that one if you want or you can have no religion you decide

I would encourage you to study the various religions in depth. When you asked me what my religion was, I would tell you and tell you why. And I would hope that through the way I live my life, you could see that my choice is a good one follow.

My view is that all roads lead to God, and the different religions just allow people to express that in ways that best fit their personality and culture.
I would tell you to read a lot, talk to some adherents of any faiths that interested you, and then decide what feels true to you.

First I would tell you that you are asking the wrong question. Then I would I have to explain what religion is (because you would obviously not understand that, based on the question). After that, I could start dealing with the specific presuppositions that you need in order to understand my religion.

I would actually be more interested in hearing about your experiences of being raised by gorillas than in trying to convince you of any religious stuff.

I would say them were some smart apes that could teach you to use the Internet

I'd say to you --were you happy before? did your life go well? Did you wonder about who made everything. My guess is you'd have answered no. MY answer would be if you were content and happy--I wouldn't try and convince you of any religion--probably tell you you don't need it.

Are these apes going to teach you how to read first?
