I was a Christian way before my parents ever were. So don't try to play the influence card here.
You still haven't answered my question.
Which question?

What made you pick Christianity over all the other religions?

Since there's a thread for asking questions about atheism, I figured it would be fitting to have a thread asking questions about religion. I'm pretty curious as to how religious people think, and I'm sure other atheists here are too.

Atheists, ask questions. Religious people, answer them. Got it?

I'll kick this off:

1. Why do you believe in your religion out of all the religions out there?
To be honest, I was born with my Mother believing this religion. Though it was not forced upon me, I had accepted it as my religion on my own.

2. Have you ever considered partaking in a religion other than the one you were raised to believe in?
No.

It makes more sense to me, it seems more reliable then some other religions.

No.

If you couldn't be Christian, what religion would you choose instead?

I understand it better then any other religion out there. This is really hard to do without you ending up calling me a "bible humper", don't know if you would. But I have seen people say that, that's why I haven't mentioned the Bible. But the Bible is why I find it more reliable.

I would be an atheist. There is so much evidence supporting that the world started because of evolution.

Interesting answer. You seem to be more of the rational Christian types. I haven't seen much of this on the internet, although most of the Christians I know in real life are like this.

The Bible has signs of things that are happening, even in the old testament it tells of things happening right now. All of these things are coming true, right here and now.

I guess that is a good thing, huh?

I would say so. I don't have a problem with religion, I just have a problem with people being close-minded and ignorant about their religion. It's refreshing to see people who can be both religious and logical.

Another thing that sometimes pushes me to think there is no God is the fact that he/she is supposedly "all-knowing", so why does he/she let things that go on in life happen?

Rape, murder, all the sick things that happen. Why won't he simply stop this? It perplexes me beyond belief.. psyduck;
