I want to start this thread off by saying I am not in any way, shape, or form saying your religion of choice is incorrect. I do not wish to start up a debate regarding the validity of your religion of choice, so please keep that out of this thread.
I assume that the vast majority of the people here that are part of an organized religion were born into said religion. I have a completely open view on religion, so I ask you: What if you had been born into another religion? A good percentage of you are Christian, I assume. If I'm correct, it wouldn't be completely impossible for me to also assume that you refute the beliefs of other religions such as Judaism, Islam, etc. I want to know how you feel about other religions when you realize that if you had been born into the opposing religions, you would also think that your current religion is false.
I'm probably explaining my question terribly, but I hope you can make sense of it and provide me with an intellectual response, rather than just "We're God's children", or something similar. Back up your response with a REASON why your religion that you were more than likely born into is more correct than someone else's religion that they were more than likely born into.
