I don't understand what people mean here. She said this because muslims do believe that everyone is born muslim.

That doesn't make it any less annoying.

Agreed. Talking about one's religious beliefs as the truth is very annoying...

According to muslim belief, the natural religion God has given is Islam.

That's scary.

I can honestly say I don't go around telling everyone that they're Christians, when they're claiming not to be.

The beliefs of people who don't respect and understand the cultural importance country's historical origins aren't worth protecting IMO - though as regards the Taliban that was probably the least of their crimes.

Of course you don't, because you realize they're actually all Muslims. Duhhhhh.

Well vp, looks like you'll be converting in secret.

No need to convert to anything... it was a long search for the truth but once you find it you hold strong to it

Sorry, but brainwashing springs to my mind.....I respect that you have a right to your own opinion, VP, but how much of all you have said in this thread IS your own opinion or belief and how much of it is what you have been brainwashed to believe?

Ummm, Christians don't believe that everyone was born Christian. If they did, I'm sure you would....

Makes you wonder - while the vandals, mongols and huns were responsible for the destruction of many ancient cities and sights at least they did it for fairly understandable motivations (pillage and plunder) rather than because they ideologically opposed the expression of views and beliefs they consider "deviant"

I have not been brainwashed at all.... I came to believe what I believe by searching for the truth and studying it. If that's brainwashing then any person who's ever learned anything in school has also been brainwashed

Thus, when born, our natural inclination is towards God and His religion, and to submit to Him.

only thing i recall my having a natural inclination towards when i was born was a boobie.

It's like hunting because you hate animals.
