Muslim or christian;have u ever thought that ur religion was most probably chosen 4u by others.
Virtually from birth religious or ethical ideas are implanted in our mind by our parents n relative.it has simply been a matter of where we were born or when.or,as historian Arnold Toynbee indicated,an individual's adherence 2a certain faith is often determined by "the geographical accident of the locality of his birth-place."d implication of dis is dat d proud Mary from d south east could av been a pious Mariam if she had been born in the north east.
It can b argued then that none of us is righteous so 2say.we are all victims of our environment.
IS THE RELIGION IMPOSED AT ONE'S BIRTH NECESSARILY THE RIGHT ONE?
In d light of this,it is advisable to study other people's-your neigbhour especially-religion.as Geoffrey parinder state in World Relions-From Ancient History to the Present."to study different religion need not imply infidelity to one's own faith,but rather it may be enlarged by seeing how other people have sought for reality and have been enriched by it."knowledge leads to understanding,and understanding leads to tolerance of people with different viewpoint.
I studied the Bible book of Romans chapter 12 earliear today n d part dat i really loved is in verse 18 which reads "if possibly,as far as it depends upon you,be peaceable with all me(women inclusive).peace.
