just wondering what people's thoughts are on this, but who do you feel makes the choice for people in what they believe in? i have a friend who believe's he made the choice for christianty for himself at the age of 4. my friend also believe's in the ratio 60:50 and that 4 times 25 equals 400. i just wonder at what other people think- i wasn't brought up believing in some faith so i find it only natural that i am an atheist- as are people who are brought up religiously (they end up religious), but they have no freedom of choice in the matter of how they think when they grow up, whereas maybe sometime in the non-forseeable future i might choose religion independantly of my parents. Enders case is one that i find very rare, and i hope he is not having to much trouble with that and send him my support, it is more awkward than it should be, religion desn't teach acceptance so it will always be a difficult process. anyway, what are peoples thought's or has this thread already been thrashed out before?
