When you were born, if you had been given the choice, do you think it would have been preferable to chose you religion or have it assigned to you as it probably was.
We are all born to parents of a certain faith and therefore all fall within a certain denomination when born. Many of us have had mixed marriages and now have children of multiple faiths that seem uncertain which one is best. In my case I was Roman Catholic and my wife was Church of England but as both of us believed in God but not our Churches we left it to our children to decide what path to take later on in life.
Even an Atheist is born with a religion in his family tree at some point. So feel free to join in..
Does this redefine my belief in God and to those in a Church make me evil. Probably and in their eyes I will probably go to hell. But if God is all loving as I was told he was as a child and how hard I have been worked to be a good person to help so many fellow humans, why would a Church going Hypocrite make it to heaven and not me for my slightly different belief.
So would you have rather picked your religion on the day you were born ?
