Religion is an accident of birth

As well over 90% of the world's population adopts the religion of their parents/culture, then this belief has nothing to do with thinking and examining nor personal experience and is merely arbitrary.

even though they call this "religion" by the same name...

does it really mean they understand or believe in the same thing?

i don't think so.

I would agree with this just off the top of my head, but the mere fact that most of the world's population adopts the religion of their parents/culture does not imply causation. Have there been any studies with identical twins where one twin is raised under a different religion? Then you would have the opportunity to at least set up SOME sort of quasi-experimental design.

I agree with this. I was raised without any religion at all. So naturally I continued in this state of agnosticism until my true experimental conversion to Christianity. Almost all just continue on in what they have been told and never come into experimental knowledge.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Thank God He has chosen a people for Himself.

1Pe 2:9  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

2Th 2:13  But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

Eph 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Ac 13:48  And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

Watters cites a case study of a man imprisoned for rape. The man admitted he was sexually aroused when, on the way home from drinking at a bar, he broke into a randomly chosen house and raped a woman who was a total stranger to him. When Watters asked him why he didn't relieve his sexual tension by masturbating, the man looked horrified and replied, "Oh, I was born a Catholic... that's a mortal sin."

All peoples, verses just the nation of OT Israel. The gospel would go out to the Gentiles. All those believing, of both Jews and Gentiles, will become the house.

birth is certainly not an accident in hardcore pope-endorsed christianity. no condoms allowed.

that birth is also a religious birth; the christian memeplex is instilled into the pupil if all goes well.

so, that type of fundamentalism after birth is not an accident

so, the fallacy is revealed by means of a counterexample. :pope:

Thank God He has chosen a people for Himself.

Nonsense!

Apollo, Zeus, and Thor are the only TRUE gods, and the only Chosen People are those of Hialeah, Florida. This Holy Trinity crap is what people with an unpure heart believe. Those of us with a pure heart and soul believe in the Holy Troika without doubt.

You are all damned to hell. Believe me. However, the Troika is compassionate. I will pray for all of you that your heart and soul will be made pure and that the Troika will have mercy on you and that you will move to Hialeah.

But only if you believe! Reject at your peril what you know to be true in your heart of hearts. You know it is as I have said. But I warn you: reform your sinful ways, or else! Apollo, Zeus, and Thor can be gentle or not as you will surely discover eventually! :hellfire:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

Won't it be crowded if we all move to Hialeah?

The Troika will provide. It always has as you well know. This is an indisputable fact. :evil:
