CrazyMan: Was born into a christian/traditional home...I choose christianity over traditional believes because I felt more comfortable whenever I'm in God's presence.

And I'm glad I did...I serve God not because I'm compelled to do so, or because I want a miracle or blessing...I serve him because I believe he delights pleasure in my worship...

benodic: I was born a christian and grew up in a strong christian home with a mother who was a reverend minister with her own church.
I had past life recalls as a child which i confirmed for myself that they were real. The church on the other was preaching that there is no reincarnation while i knew for a fact that i have lived before.

I found ECKANKAR, The Religion of the Light and Sound of God on my own and for the first time in my life i saw a Religion that teaches that i am soul and that i exist because of God's love for me and that i have lived several lives all for the need to acquire spiritual maturity in order to become a co-worker with God and also gave spiritual exercises to prove these truths for myself.

afam4eva: I've noticed that majority of people who change religions or become atheists or agnostic are usually open minded people.

Techwriter: If it is how I became a Christian, I would say I was born into it. Almost everyone in Nigeria was born into one religion or another. This is the reason you need a second birth, what we call born again. I had to become born again to be qualified for the kingdom. Christianity as a religion is no better than Islam except that it has better values. But being born again is a different experience all together. I have always tried to educate Nairalanders that Christianity in its true essence is not a religion. Religion is man looking for God while Christianity is God reaching out to man

I am born again that's how I became a son of God not a religious christian

Safiya Aliyu: Am a muslim cos i was born into a muslim family and i feel it's the best.

binger: I became a Christian by birth.When i grew old enough to make my choices,i still chose Christianity.Because its more than a religion.Its a lifestyle.I am happy my parents brought me up in the way of the Lord...Jesus is Lord!!!

fittty: Became a christian after I realised the the true God

elliottibanga:

That's because most open minded people prefer to think/ reason rationally. And if anyone objectively thinks about the facts of any religion (without the handicap of faith), the flaws that will be found are so significant that a secular path is inevitable.

afam4eva: Ethnicity is something that ones is born with and not something that you learn or become but religion on the other hand is something that you became or was probably passed down to you but it has not always been like that.

Whenever I see people from different religions arguing over who is right, i wonder, are these people fighting for the religion they belong to because they found themselves there.

As a Christian, i wonder what i would have been if i was born a Muslim or a Budhist. I'll probably be proclaiming that Allah is the best thing to happen to the world. If some Muslims were born Christians, they would have been preaching Jesus to whoever cares to listen.

Now, are you a Christian/Catholic or Muslim because your parents were one and you were probably born one? I guess majority of the answers will be in the affirmative. Only few people actually get to convert to another religion. You see some Christians saying that Christianity is the way thereby citing how Alhaja A converted to become a Pastor.

I'm sure Moslems also have a story of how a hardcore Pastor became an Imam. I remember i asked one Christian why he thinks Christianity is the way and he said "You'll know once you feel the Holy-spirit".

I want to imagine Moslems are still Moslems because they're also feeling something similar to the Holy spirit in their religion. If they were not benefiting anything they would have left, right?

You'll also see someone telling you that God provided the house, cars and everything that he has attained in life. Now, Atheists and people from every religion also have these things. T

here are also poor people from every religion. It now brings me back to the question "Are you part of your Region because you were born into it or because you made a conscious effort to be part of it"

Btw, I'm a Christian.
