I doubt that. You are born into a family, a community that holds certain habits, rules, ethics and beliefs. If christianity is greatly represented in your family, chances are you will be turned towards the religion as well and don't question it since you're indoctrinated with it ever since childhood.
My choice in religion is not the debate.

Some people choose to be athiest, muslim, christian or to pray to joe pesci. It's all a choice, in a matter of fact, the more a religion is pushed on a person the more that person turns away, i've seen it many times.

It's precisely the opposite of free will. It's relinquishing personal responsibility to an institution with an imaginary foundation, and letting them determine the course of your life.
You think all Christians or people of different faiths don't make their own decisions? Silly.

I believe their vision is clouded by fantasy, and their decisions can reflect that.

A lot of Bible 'facts' in here, where a lot of people who ive met that consider themselves Christians have barely read a chapter, which imo makes more sense with the belief and the term 'faith' :]

Its no different from people who believe 9/11 was an inside job, or that aliens visit earth, its just another form of belief based on half truths and bullshit, and if thats all the written evidence can provide and thats what you base your opinions on, then youre always going to end up in trouble, which is why only the retarded do it

i think religion prolly originated when humans evolved to the point that they were aware that at some point in the future they were going to die...this caused extreme anxiety so the brain created a delusion (afterlife) so resolve this anxiety...

we need to evolve again to eliminate the delusion...

the delusion is man made and not a byproduct of evolution. it's all about power and manipulation, the poisoning of one people against another to steal their stuff and keep it for a long, long time while convincing "believers" that the natural world is corrupt, separate from them, and meant to be exploited.

I really love the interview with this guy. The first video is a bit boring but eventually they get into some philosophical points. Be sure to watch Part 2, Scarface, as he addresses some of your arguments directly.

i wasn't trolling. i find this "oh my god we're being persecuted by christians time to be that militant douchebag" and the constant Dawkins dick touching tedious.

but hey, i love me some jesus-bashing circlejerk. pants down lets do it like we're 17 and campaigning for Ron Paul.

So then why are you here? Seems like a complete waste to be on earth a short while, then die, with no thought that something more awaits after?

I'm not bible thumping here, it's not my intention. Just trying to understand why someone could even consider this being all there is for us.
That's exactly the type of mindset religion originated from.
Our evolved brain deserves a better vessel I'll give you that. When I was younger I often thought about this issue. How imbalanced and unfair it is for something so fragile to have the ability to think beyond it's own reality. Yet here we are left to our own devices and our own imagination, to make things right again by fabricating life after death.

Seriously, I had a hard time understanding and accepting this great divide between our physical and mental capacity, but I didn't feel the need to fabricate things that don't exist to come into to terms with reality...As a matter of fact this was one of the reasons I was convinced we were alone.

You obviously don't know that I take nothing on this forum seriously or genuine. You'd be a moron to do so...

He brings up some valid points but the problem is that many religious people are so stubborn, they'll just say "god moves in mysterious ways" and be done with it. They'll claim that god cannot be explained or defined by reason. So there you are with your water-tight argumentation against god. It just wont hit home.

Wait, what? Isn't that what a discussion forum is for? Wouldn't be much of a discussion if everyone had the same opinion, no?

I was merely pointing out the way everyone jumped on him when he spoke up. It's a bit one sided on here regarding this issue...

That's not very nice, MKJ. Hopefully we can see past our differences...
