So much of who we are and what we beleive is a result of how we were raised and taught as children. In this example of religious belief, most people here who are Christian were raised that way or at least grew up in a country where that was the predominant religion. There was very little chance I'd ever be a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Mormon or any other of the various religions, because I didn't really even know about them until long after my religious beliefs were already established. I could never honestly say I looked at all the different beliefs and chose what I was going to follow based on what I found.
Then too there is the bigget question of if you can even choose to believe something. If its something that you don't want to be true, and you also don't find it beleiveable, could you still choose to believe? And down the rabbit hole from there...
