Has anyone ever asked himself/herself this ultimate question: how come Paul is a christian and mohammed is a muslim? how come John's family are Catholics and Jane's family are Methodists? how come Yohanna is a Buddhist? why is Namaha a Hindi? how come?

are we members of our various religious groups just because our parents are members? or the generality of the society we live in are members?
what if my parents were born to Iranian parents, or Indians or even Chinese; would i have been a christian? what if my parents were Romans or American or Canadians; would i have been a Muslim?

if u can answer this questions sincerely, then i see no reason why u should think ur religious ideas are superior to that of other people or even to the man who doesn't believe in any religion. Mutual tolerance should be what we preach. . . respect for each other's ideologies.

Now food for thought: who will eventually go to 'heaven'? i ask this because most of these religion preach that the only condition for heaven is by following their own religion. abeg i need answers. . .

We are all products of our environment thats why someone born in the middle east wil most likely be a muslim someone born in Europe would most likely be a Christian and someone born in Asia a Buddhist its very rare for someone to change from Islam to Buddhism or Christianity most will just live and die in the religion they were born and bred into. They will also defend that religion due to to the mental conditioning from childhood despite all the flaws and inconsistencies in it. What about you poster which religion were you born and bred into?

same reason why you're nigerian and black while the man in india is caucasoid and indian.

i'm definitely not an atheist. but a liberal non-religious Christian. i respect every religion and believe that Love for fellow human is the essence of live.
no religion is inferior to others. As for the question of who will go to heaven; don't be surprised that even the so-called idol worshiper be go to heaven before most of these western religious people.

I have a question for you. The bible says that all atheists are evil fools in psalm 14;1. How am I supposed to respect that as an atheist?

. . . when i say western religion, i actually mean modern religion: Christianity, Islam, Buddha etc.

“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.

sorry my guy, but i'm gonna do it d 9ja way. answer ur question with question. 1. are u a fool? 2. if yes, did u say there is no god? if all is yes, doesn't still mean u should condemn what their 'holy book' says. if u do not confine urself within the teaching of the bible. . . then it's not meant for u. u shld understand that it's not meant for u and then tolerate the people it's meant for; just the say way they should tolerate u and your believes.

. . . in addition, if ur mother says: "ibrahim, don't ever play with that yoruba and that Ibo man". the yoruba and the ibo man shld respect ur view. however, if u come to the play ground and see the Ibo man and the yoruba man playing; it's expected u join them or u turnabout and go home. u can't come and tell them to get out so u can play alone. doesn't work that way.
