Question Why is your religion/spiritual belief correct?

I am always amazed at how adamantly people cling to their religious/spiritual beliefs. One of the most interesting (mostly among religious, less among non-religious "spiritual" people who cop-out with the "everyone's belief is right" stuff, including those who think they have a "right" to hurt others I wonder) is people's claim that their belief is right and they are sure of this.

It's amusing considering that had they been born and raised in a different country and/or exposed to different beliefs during their lives they would believe completely differently (and probably equally adamantly).

I like to think that wherever I grew up I would have the mental acuity, clarity of mind and resistance to social pressure to be an atheist. Of course I can't be sure.

So, if you think you've got it right about all this spiritual stuff, tell me why.

Cheers,
Narz
