Untill you accept the one true god she will exercise patience and nurture you on the road to salvation. I hope she can save you from your patriarchal ways.
If you could have chosen your religion ?

At this point, salvation would be if the escort service called me up and offered their services for free!
One is born a non believer, and if no one ever taught them about god and religions, they would never believe, because they would not know.
I encouraged my 4 daughters to learn about god and religions as they grew up
so they would understand and be able to make a knowledgeable decision one
day for themselves.
No one, even a parent should push their beliefs onto their children or anyone
else, it is a personal choice, and each one should learn, then make their choice.
When we were asked all the questions that children normally ask, concerning
god and religion, we 'walked the fence', and made sure we didn't try to sway
them one way or another.
One daughter is very spiritual and believes in god. We all love each other.
Telling kids about god and the consequences of not doing as you are ordered is tantamount to child abuse. Putting the fear of god into little kids is cruel and a sick control game that parents pull on their kids. It has nothing to do with religion or god. Its about domination, scaring the little buggers into doing and acting like you want them to. Perverted in my opinion.
Yes, I agree, I can truly relate those feelings of obedience and fear to my own
childhood, (not by my parents, but by the nuns and priests), and the words
in the catachisms, and confessions, and guilt. My parents just thought they
were doing what they were suppose to do, for my own good, they really didn't
push and prod me one way or the other, they just did what their parents did.
I would love to be a Christian they got it made.
No matter how much they sin they don’t have to worry about it because they are always forgiven because of Jesus.
They can break all the Ten Commandments brought down by God and they are forgiven just by reciting a prayer.
I got to follow all the laws, can’t sin at all and I got to help people.
Christians don’t have to do any of these because they are saved.

Who is it that have no fear of Heaven or Hell because they don't exist so they can do whatever rottenness they want as long as they cry once a year?
I don't see the point of this thread. Do I not have the ability and the right to choose whatever I wish today, tomorrow, on my death bed?
Just because you are born in Pakistan, doesn't mean you're never going to hear who was Jesus Christ was. You still have a mind and a choice.

lol Most people choose their foolishness. Many reach for wisdom. Most achieve the first and rarely the second.
These are pretty silly statements. Did the aboriginal peoples of pre- Columbian America ever hear of JC? Did they have a choice? Just because you believe that someone in a story that can't be proven but can easily be disproven, is divine, doesn't make him divine. You judge the world from your misguided beliefs and expect everybody adhere to them. Your logic is silly, just as silly as you think my logic is.
OK I have always admitted I am not the best at making a point..
The real objective behind this was more to get people thinking about things such as..
Most humans are very discriminatory.. Hence you are born "Muslim", "Jewish" or "Catholic" today you are racially profiled in many cultures. But if you had no "religion at birth" would that impact your life differently and would you make the same choices today that were made for you when you were born ?
You cannot run from what you were born as even if you change religions.. People always refer to me as a "Catholic Born Child" regardless.
That said it does not mean I don't believe in God or even my religion..

Maybe you could use hot knives instead. Better value for the buck and no unwanted gifts.
That's not right at all. I am a christian. I know the difference between right and wrong and I choose to be a good person. I don't do it with the feeling that I will get a better "seat" then you do in Heaven. I know the Catholic Church preaches what you say and many of them sin all week, atone for it on Sunday and repeat all the sins again starting on Monday. They aren't all like that anymore than non christians are all the same. Being good or bad has nothing to do with being a christian.
