When it comes down to it, our individual beliefs are a choice based on evidence presented to us. Some people choose to believe in the Bible, the Koran, or other holy book, as literal truth. Others interpret their holy books non-literally. Some people don't follow any religion.
How did you make your choice? What were your reasons?
I don't want this to turn into a Christan bashing or atheist bashing or anything-else bashing thread. Please be respectful and remember that, whatever another person believes, they are entitled to that belief.
I would, however, like us to be able to question each other's reasons for their beliefs in a mature and respectful manner.
This would probably fit best in Faith and Belief.
