Pete,
True, at least in the beginning. From what I can see, a person usually
starts out with their birth religion which forms the basis of their
religious beliefs. But when they become of age and are exposed to
other religions, they may change that.
From my perspective, what makes a religion credible, is if it is a
religion of truth, and everyone who practices it can become a better
person as well as do good to others around them.
For example, the Muslim terrorists brand of religion in the news
frequently, certainly does not make that person better by being an
assassin, or does good to those he kills.
Another example is many of the churches of Christendom. They may be a
better person for a while, but when some political leader tells them
to kill people from an 'enemy' nation, then their previous history
shows that they do that. Yet their professed leader Jesus clearly said
at Mt 5:44,
"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you," (NASB)
Or when some educator tells them to believe in evolution, and not
creation, then many choose to ignore Jesus' words at Mt 19:4, and
instead listen to the words of men.
Thus if there really is a God out there, and He really did give us a
religion to go by, then it should be evidence in those who practice
it. And it is.
Sincerely, James
