I am sceptical of the Skeptics. Is it wrong?

[Aquitaine]

I SAID, I WOULD BECOME A CHRISTIAN IF one able to provide a proof that Christianity is a true religion. I don't care the way they provide the proof either from scripture or any something else . Yes I was born a Muslim.

So you were born a Muslim, why am I not surprised. . . . .

Not surprise on what?

the response from the lazy man.

Can you prove that Ice-cream isn't the one true religion? Can you prove that the Dairy Lama is a false prophet and yours is a true one? Of course you can't, that's the whole point.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Many claim atheism is the default position that we are born with - and I think this is true in a sense, young children do not question the origins of everything they see, but accept it 'just is'
i.e. in this sense, our belief in God is a position founded on skepticism, sooner or later most become skeptical of the belief that blind chance is an adequate explanation for the world we see around us.

I've never met somebody who was an atheist as a child and then decided to start believing in God as an adult.

That the "one true religion" in your opinion just happens to be the one you were born into. In other words, your faith is a product of your upbringing, nothing more.

did i say so, that my religion is true BECAUSE i was born into it?

I'm fairly confident that (like many others) you are only a Muslim now because you were born into it.

I think people with a strong conviction that theirs is the only true religion are potentially quite dangerous.

anyone who think their religions are true just because they born into it then it is the weak reason in defending the religion.

Yes, being convinced of having divine authority on your side can be dangerous if taken to a fundamentalist level, I agree.

Yet that is what you are doing here. The same list of reasons you gave earlier for believing in Islam could be used by countless other people saying the same thing about their religion.
Or is it just an amazing coincidence that you believe Islam is the "one true religion" after having an Islamic upbringing?

How much have you studied other faiths to come to the conclusion that they are all wrong, but your's is correct?
Also, do you realize that "the religion is true because its scripture says so" is circular logic?

I think one would actually have to practice in other faiths to come to any valid conclusions on this kind of question.

 

[Aquitaine]

Indeed. I just find it odd how there are some people who say others are being "blind" or "lazy" for not accepting their religion, yet will claim that every other religion but theirs is false.

I suspect such crude sectarianism is often based on a willfull ignorance of the wider world and other religious traditions.

Which religions should I study?
Which scriptures outside Islam state that their religions are true? I had never found in Torah states that Judaism is the true religion.
nor in the Bible that says Christianity is the true one, nor in Hindu's, Buddhis's and so on.

 

[Rick O'Shez]

Which religions should I study?

As many as you can. With an open mind.

Pick one. And be sure it is a true religion.

Errr..... practically all of them state as such. Out of curiosity, is the primary criteria for you judging a religion as "true" based off whether or not its scripture says so? If that's the case then you should be believing pretty much every religion as true, including Scientology.

"Pick one, as long as it's Islam".
