Re: Catholic v. Christian
I think it's most likely that I would have been a muslim, yes.
I think if I were around when Christ was I would have been one of the Jews trying to get him killed. Yet, I'd like to think that I would see if I could defend and rationalise my faith. Isn't is obvious that if a person has exposure to beliefs they are more likely to accept it, it's only because they have had exposure to it. A person who I really respect was brought up in a Jewish home, he now believes in Jesus, against his family's wishes, he has been quite excluded from his family. I like to think that I would measure the accuracy of my beliefs with personal experience and finding relevant answers to my questions. |

Re: Catholic v. Christian
I appreciate your honesty.
Although I obviously don't agree with your friend's conclusion, I also respect anyone who thinks outside what they were brought up to believe, and arrives at their own conclusions. Even if he remained Jewish, as long as he thinks for himself at some point. You seem to have done this as well (which I also respect even though I disagree with your conclusions), but it's surprising how many have not. |
