Do religious people understand that if they were born in another country-then they would probably be a different religion?

Yes, we realize this. But..we weren't, and we aren't. One word - predestination.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32614646 I knew one would say this.....so you're saying that if Saudi Arabia is like 99% muslim, then you'd have been the exception if you had been born there, right? RIIIIIGHT No - not at all. I am saying that God was in control of my life even before I was born, and that he placed me here to be a believer in this place. He put my soul here and He made my faith possible. If He had made me to be born in SA, and born into an muslim family, I would have been a muslim. Conversion is always a possibility, however. This is where the idea "there but by the grace of God go I" idea comes from. You might want to study some of the writing of John Calvin. so you have such a massive ego that not only did you pick the right religion, but god placed you in a position to make sure you picked the right religion by putting your birthplace in a most favorable location? geez, the arrogance. I didn't do anything - He did. Left to my own devices, I'm sure that I would have picked the very worst for myself. In real life, I hope that you wouldn't find me to be arrogant. A Bible passage that I try to remember everyday is this: Luke 12 47 “And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes,48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.
