No, you didn't. You were brought up with the christian beliefs being fed to you daily (correct me if I'm way of the mark here).
Had you been born in Saudi Arabia you would've probably been brought up as a Muslim and would have believed the teachings of the Islam.
Had you been born in The Netherlands there's a good chance you would've turned out ...[text shortened]... n you make yourself believe that not Jesus will save you, but the Flying Spaghetti Monster will?
No, you didn't. You were brought up with the christian beliefs being fed to you daily (correct me if I'm way of the mark here). [Several family members with identical exposure do not share my Christian beliefs.]
Had you been born in Saudi Arabia you would've probably been brought up as a Muslim and would have believed the teachings of the Islam. [Hypothetical. I have no frame of reference.]
Had you been born in The Netherlands there's a good chance you would've turned out to be an atheist. [Hypothetical. Ditto.]
I'll ask again (because you haven't answered): [The accurate and honest answer I gave didn't fit your template.]
Can you make yourself believe that not Jesus will save you, but the Flying Spaghetti Monster will? [Reverse my belief in Christ in exchange for belief in the Flying Spaghetti Monster? If so, please provide information to replace my ignorance and to provide a basis from which to make a life altering decision with eternal consequences.]
