We are born in a religion...and we follow, its not our choice but its by birth...so does it make me right to say that what I follow is totally correct ?

This will totaly depend on how you view the current religion that you are in- Some people at a certain point in their lives change religions despite of what they grew up in. This is because they find some questions that are unanswered by the religion that they're into. HUmans constantly have questions, and they constantly seek for the answers to these questions. One of the most questionable things that a person has in his life is his choice of religion or his faith- Some people stay in the religion that they were born in because they find the satisfaction that they need from that point of belief. While others search more to satisfy their truths. Its all just a matter of choice. If you feel that what you're following is correct then it is your right. =)

I have rated you another ++ for this post. It is an outstanding question. I do not agree. But we are from different cultures, so of coarse our thoughts would be different. My thought is this, who do you answer to when you die? People or God? I believe God. So, on earth, I do not follow any religion as I was raised. I have a personal relationship spiritally with God. PLease rate "best response" if you are pleased with my time ane effort to respond to your post. Thank you.

Some people are content with the religion they were born into and don't raise questions about their belief. Others are not, they don't want to believe everything that was told them or forced into them, they want answers for their own questions. For them, sincerity alone is not a gauge to determine whether their religion is correct or not because one can be sincere in his beliefs but can be sincerely wrong. So ultimately, it is a matter of choice.

No is my answer.If the religion is proven to be a true religion,then you can follow,obey, and practice it.I think that is the reason why all the religions in the world got a failing grade to God so to speak.You see the world is in trouble,man are hungry despite the fact that this world can feed its billions,thanks to the priest and pastors.
