Why Belief?

I couldnt disagree more. I personally became a Christian while my family and I would say 80% of my friends at the time were not. To say the majority believe in God for that reason is a far stretch. A lot of Christians had to learn the hard way not growing up in a Christian family. I personally think that not growing up in a Christian family has showed me the other side and I will never go back.

Then you became a Christian because that is the dominant religion in your culture, by far.

When I grew up I never heard one think about Jesus or Christians. Our culture is as far away from Christianity as we can get. Ever turn on the tv or listen to music. I become a Christian because I always doubted people saying Jesus wasnt the Son of God having never gone to Church. As I said earlier none of my family or friends did either. So to say oh you become a Christian because that is the dominint religion is a far cry from the truth.

I dont understand what you just said. My point was that tv and radio is as far away from Christianity as it can get. I guess you agree.

Thanks for the help Faith. I hate to see I have a reply to my messages just because I know they will pick apart every word I say. Its also hard to get Christian support on these boards and that is one reason why I left for awhile. Im thinking I need to take my location of my profile, they see I am from Texas and and assume that I am a Christian who loves Bush. Im not saying Im not.

If your asking if I have been exposed to other religions than yes I have been. I go to UTA. It has students from over 100 countries and I lived in a dorm with students from many different countries from many different religions. I lived in that dorm for 2 years so yes I was exposed to many different religions.
