Simple question is a religious belief a choice or simply tought as the right thing to think.
​
In my opinion, indoctrination. Most of my deist, agnostic and atheistic friends started out as fundimentalist Christians solely by being indoctrinated into the beliefs of the particular sect. In amy cases it took years for them to unindoctrinate themselves.

any old teaching is not as good as any other teaching. Teachings, especially religious teachings, should be studied hard before they are accepted.
​
They are not all the same and they do not all inspire faith.
​
So who decides which are inspired and which are crap?

You did not just say that did you? Of course the people who have accepted jesus christ as their savior decide which is inspired and which are crap.
​
Of course I know that but I wanted an opinion from the other side.
