I never sudgested that there were not writtings by men. did I?
if you place a child in an environment where only 1 of the many diverse religions are taught , then that child will most likely grow up to believe in that particular religion.
if at a later date he begins to reason with his teachings and finds that 1 of the other of the many religions seem to him to
be a more correct religion to him then he has used his reasoning
ability to choose a new religion for himself.
if he feels in his heart that the new religion is a more correct
religion then he is not simply following what he was originally taught as a child.
just as you chose to believe in the invisible purple rhinoceros
he has chosen to believe , not made to believe in any certain religion.
