Although I was born a christian, I think that christians and muslims are both descendants of Abraham(or Ibrahim). Isaac and Ishmael are both sons of one father and two mothers in one family. Who says that one is true and the other false? Where is the brotherly love that both christians and muslims preach? Are we worshiping God or our different religions?

@topic! I saw earlier an estimate of 90% born into their religion, I dare say that number could be 95% or more in Nigeria. We are all born into one religion or the other and are brought up to believe all the stupid stories they tell us. Most people don't really care to "seek the truth" they just follow the crowd and go about doing whatever it is they want (this explains why our country is the way it is).

Sad!!
Re: How Did You Become A Christian Or Muslim? by Rooneyboy(m): 12:51pm On Nov 01, 2012
Like someone rightly said,ones religion stands between how u relate with yourself, your conscience, the supreme being and your fellow humans.

I do believe in doing the good my conscience tells me to do, with this I strongly believe I would go to any heaven that there is to go.

ISLAM IS MY RELIGION, I WAS BORN INTO IT. I HAVE MADE CONCERTED EFFORTS TO KNOWING ABOUT OTHER RELIGION AND THERE HISTORY. THE ONLY RELIGION IN THE SIGHT OF GOD IS ISLAM, IT PREACHES THE ONENESS OF GOD AND FORBIDS ASSOCIATING PARTNER WITH GOD.COME TO THINK OF IT, IF WE ALL AGREE THAT RELIGION IS A WAY OF LIFE, IT MEANS THAT ALL AFFAIRS OF MAN SHOULD BE TREATED INCLUDING AFTER DEATH. CAN ANY ADHERENT OTHER SO CALLED RELIGION INFORM NAIRALANDERS WHAT HIS RELIGION SAYS ABOUT THE FOLLOWING?
1.A CHILD WHEN HE IS BORN( NAMING CEREMONY ETC)
2. WHEN THE CHILD ATTAINS PUBERTY
3. HOW TO CONDUCT HIS/HER WEDDING
4.HOW TO CARRY OUT BURIAL RITES
5. WHAT TO DO WITH HIS/HER PROPERTY AFTER DEATH.INHERITANCE

N.B: ISLAM DISCUSSES ALL THESE IN DETAIL AND IT HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND HUMAN FRIENDLY APPROACH TO THIS LIFE ISSUES.

ashson: ISLAM is my religion. i have found islam to be the real and only religion that comes from God. come to think of it, islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. million of people in america and europe were not born muslims, due to research and quest for the truth, they end up converting to muslims, with the fact that islam is being painted as the religion of conflicts and killings which is all setup just to discourage people to do more research about islam thereby ending up as muslims. ISLAM is simply a way of life, everything about how to live this life had been planned for you since before you were born.

bros,u are lying.islam has neva and can neva be d fastest growing religion.u cal it fastest growing religiön u easily see a man marrying 80wives and boring 500kids.u cnt see dat in xtianity cos christ neva preachd dat unlike wat ur religion.if i may ask,how many muslims in nigeria has 1 wife?mention them.quote me right ,islam has neva in history preach their gospel to people 4them to convert willingly,rather,it is by force dat u must convert.go and read abt how d northern nigeria was conquerd.

Good talk afam4eva. I am a christian born into a christian family, and by His grace will remain a christian forever. But i could ve felt same for islam if i had been born into a moslem home! someone up there said islam is the fastest growing religion. what does that matter, even if it's true? just statistics. and what do i expect with the birth rate even among my own moslem friends. A simple case study. The guy who claimed islam is the fastest growing religion should tell me how many siblings he has, so we compare with mine.

i was born into a christian home but along the line i came to realize that God does not care if you are a muslim, a christian, a buddhist or watever u call yourself, He is only interested in the love you can show your fellow man. christ (who the muslims also respect) taught us two commandments, love God and love your neighbors, if u like chant prayers, speak in tonques or recite the whole koran, go to church and mosque everyday, travel to jerusalem and mecca every year, be a friend to the bishop or imam and still cant love your neighbors you are on your own.

Hmm.
I often struggle with that myself. I think to myself, Are we some kind of game the Almighty plays? Setting obstacle courses, providing puzzles that most people cannot figure out in their lifetime?

But well, if you refer to two verses in the Bible:

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

And

Exo 20:5 . . . for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;


In my human reasoning, I look at those two verses and tell myself: 'You are so screwed, either which way!'
