GIVEN THAT A PERSON BORN IN IRAN IS MORE LIKELY TO BECOME A MUSLIM WHILST SOMEONE BORN IN POLAND IS LIKELY TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN CATHOLIC IS RELIGION A CASE OF SOCIALISATION RATHER THAN A DIVINE EXPERIENCE

both are good.its quite simple and after some time pple eventually get used and start developing some kind of a mixed way of life;which i think is whats happening in most cosmopolitan places like US.
PS-it takes time,a long time for smthing to develop to smthing else.

I will Humbly dis agree with you on the requirement for a Long time.whereas people have developed and infused their traditional religious practices into christianiy,those are in many ways irrelevant..the catholics and their practices <Baptists,the Orthodox..The basic concept is (or should be) the same..The Idea that Jesus christ died on the cross for Our sins so that we could be reconciled To God in an act Of Love...basically wiping away the sin Of Adam..and our Own sins...The requiement is therefore not a Long schooling In some outdated procedures but a belief In Jesus as one's personal savior,who died for one's sins( and you know what they are)
I still urge anyone to try Jesus and see if It is a lie...

That's true but that does not necessarily mean that a born Muslim dies a Muslim. How many have come to know Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Just as long as we accept that Christ died for us on the cross and He rose from the dead and we agree to let Him lead our lives, then we all have the opportunity to be born again regardless of the religion we were born into.

The difference between true xtianity and all other world religions is that true xtianity is all about a RELATIONSHIP with God while others are about rituals and other things I dont understand.Either you yourelf are god as in New Age movement or God is aloof someone you cant alk to direct you must go thru Mary,dead saints like Catholicism and thru acts of violence and praying 5 times a day like Islam.Worshop of more than 3 million gods like hinduism.The Bible is clear Jesus is the only way to the Father and eternal life all those who are aware of this and ignore it have no excuse inspite of religious affliation.The truth is not so much out there it is in our mouths and hearts but many chose to ignore it woo unto them because tomorrow is promised to no one and God cares enough to say Jesus will not come back till the word is preached to the ends of the earth NOONE WILL HAVE AN EXCUSE!
