Muhammed?

Buddha?

any of the others?

All religions insist their prophet was correct, and that you must follow their teachings or risk eternal damnation. What makes one right and the other wrong? Who shuld someone looking for eternal salvation believe? If you make the wrong choice....

How do you know?

I tend to think they are all right. Atheists too. I don't see any reason that they all can't be right. Maybe that was the plan: make people form a bunch of different religions, then see if they can either learn to get along or die fighting each other.

I'm Christian because I was brought up with it, because I choose to be and because it works for me. If I was brought up in Saudi Arabia, it is a pretty good bet I'd be Muslim. Or Hindu if I was born in India.

I don't see any reason why an all powerful being would expect me to go out like a third-rate used car salesman and recruit for Him. Besides, I don't really care what someone else chooses to believe as long as it isn't forced down my throat. That is the one sure way to ensure that someone will NEVER accept your religion IMO.

Anymore, I've become a Christian who likes to sit around with his atheist buddies and bad-mouth other Christians for the stupid-ass stuff they say.
