Christians

[pladecalvo]

I contend that you are Christian due to an accident of the geographical and genetic distribution of differing belief systems?

If you were born in the Middle East with Muslim parents or in India with Hindu parents, do you really believe that you would have still chosen to become a Christian because there exists some significant evidence that it is the 'Truth'?

Discuss!

Of course! That's what I'm saying. It's all down to where you were born and brought up.

Or like me, you could also stop being closed minded and look into things for yourself.

Not much Christian response on this one then! Looks like we can chalk up a point for 'Team Atheist' here. :nod:

I am a christian. why assume everyone who posted was atheist?

 

[Peter Parka]

I'm neither athiest or Christian, dont see many Christians arguing this yet though.

I didn't assume anything of the sort. Read post #11 again. It says "not much Christian response" . It doesn't say 'no Christian response'.

some christians dont feel the need to argue

So why put the religion board under the heading of "Philosophy and Debate?"

I dont think it matters what religon you follow but the fact that they all have a common purpose, They all beleive in ONE thing and somewhere along the way the message got confused....

Au contraire Keight. Christianity is a good example where they don't believe in "one thing." This is borne out by the fact that there are so many different denomination all of them thinking they they are the only ones with the truth.
